The role and significance of music naturally varies from person to person. For some, it is counted among the most important things in life. For others, it may be a superfluous additive of limited value. Due to this difference in perception relating to music, it may be difficult for some individuals to recognize the benefits of compiling a personalized music playlist. However, the value of music as a therapeutic tool for people already suffering from advanced dementia has been repeatedly demonstrated, and sometimes with astounding, although temporary, results. The internet is full of studies and stories, and YouTube searches yield an abundance of video evidence ranging from clinical studies to anecdotal family recordings of elderly relatives. All of these data and anecdotes point to a compelling suggestion and an exciting conclusion: music appreciation has tremendous potential as a supplemental activity for mental health maintenance. With insights gained from the study of neuroplasticity, the neurological benefits for musicians and performers are easy to see, but less clear is the fact that mere exposure to music as a casual listener can be of profound psychological importance, even for individuals who don’t consider themselves to be music lovers. The transformative effect of music is on full display in many of the available videos on YouTube. We can simply search “dementia music,” or ‘Alzheimer’s music” for fast, relevant results. In video after video, we can see elderly subjects who may be slow to speak, detached, disoriented, barely-intelligible, or unresponsive. In care facilities and at gatherings with families, they are interviewed about their youth, and about their feelings related to music. Many of the videos first show footage of the individual’s normal daily cognitive state, and them listening and responding to the questions, followed by a period of music listening, and then another brief, post-music discussion. The transformation of mental states tends to be very clear when we compare the quality of their cognitive performance before and after the introduction of music. People remark that “a light has been turned back on,” or “his personality returned,” or “it’s as if the person has woken up from sleep.” Unfortunately, these positive responses are only temporary, and music does not have the power to permanently reverse the symptoms and pathology of advanced dementia and age-related cognitive decline. Also there is no guarantee it will work for every person, or to what degree. Nevertheless, it does not mean that music as therapy is completely without value. In fact, it can be quite the opposite. When the response is positive, the event can have multiple benefits, and may even be a therapeutic experience for certain listeners. Faces once despondent or vacant become animated and radiant. Long lost smiles return from faraway times and places. Memories and associations from previous ages shake loose and rise to the surface. Many listeners were asked to recount their experiences related to the songs and the time in life with which they were primarily associated. Some of them were able to describe events, places, people, emotions, and reactions with a degree of clarity, dexterity, and articulation that was completely inconsistent with their medical diagnosis and their cognitive performance prior to hearing the music. The song quite literally revives the personality that makes the person, temporarily and superficially reversing the undoing of the mind. For a mind that is coming undone, music as therapy has potential to mitigate suffering and confusion, provide moments of joy and enthusiasm, and ease the transition into and experience of the end-of-life period that awaits all who are fortunate enough to “die of natural causes” in old age. The benefits described above are specific to “treatment” recipients, but the merit of music as therapy cascades into the lives of everyone involved. Doctors and caretakers are uplifted and encouraged by success stories, which contributes to further proliferation and advancement of music as therapy. More critically, it can have a profound impact on families of dementia patients. In some cases, relatives get a chance to communicate with their loved ones again. Grandchildren have a window of opportunity to learn more, directly from their grandparents, about the youthful experiences and memories of past generations. It’s clear that generational bonds are also strengthened, which can positively impact the future prospects of the young generation as they in turn grow old, and lay new groundwork for generations that follow. It is unfortunate that some elderly individuals seem to derive less cognitive benefit than others from music therapy. It is not entirely certain why this is so, because there are many factors to consider, but two of the clearest factors are a person’s degree of cognitive decline, and their degree of interest in and enthusiasm for music in general. While these are the most popular metrics by which to judge the potential effectiveness and suitability of music as therapy for a given individual, by far the most important consideration is relevance to each particular person’s life experiences. This is the opportunity to finally state the obvious: It’s not possible to simply pick any song at random and expect it to have a beneficial effect on the cognitive function of every person who hears it. It’s not as if there’s a Britney Spears song that sparks joy in the heart of every soul on Earth. And the legend of Bill and Ted’s ultimate song that united the world could never be a true story (also because, as we finally learned in 2020, it was not two men and a song that united the world, but rather, the world uniting together to create that song.) However, everyone in the world can make their own playlist custom-tailored to their individual life, experiences, and memories, and some of those playlists might have a song or two by Britney Spears, or even some from one of the “Bill and Ted” soundtracks. Throughout my decades of music appreciation, an ever-growing level of respect for the enduring spirit of music has overwhelmed me, and it’s clear that no song will ever be loved by all. But every song will be loved by some, certainly at least by someone, or it would cease to exist. This is why a personalized playlist is infinitely more valuable than randomly selected songs, and we can see the truth of this claim upon close examination of recorded interviews with the elderly subjects. The songs that triggered the greatest reactions were songs that interviewees felt strong connections to, based primarily on the song’s associations to the time and place, as well as the emotional context imprinted on the memory of the events surrounding the songs. This simply means that songs for which we have emotional attachments and vivid memories are songs that invigorate our neural circuits, activating cognitive pathways and opening doors of memory similar to how olfactory sensations can trigger a memory or a sense of déjà vu. There are some exceptions, but a lot of these songs are from a person’s formative years, particularly early developmental years and their teenage period. This comes as no surprise to the discerning neuroplastician, because these are periods of life when neural plasticity is most fluid, neural development and refinement functions are most active and receptive, and the degree of exciting novelty in life tends to be highest when we are young and inexperienced. Novelty and emotion are critical components of memory formation and whether a given experience will be memorable or not. Something completely new (novelty) can be memorable if it commands your attention, or derails you from your usual pattern of behavior. Similarly, the content of a tedious lecture may be harder to recall without taking notes, while that of an exciting, fun, and funny, interactive lesson has a greater chance of being memorable, and recalled with more clarity and detail (emotion). When it comes to music, the connection to novelty and emotion is crystal clear. The first time you ever heard that song, it was new and your emotional response was strong. You might even remember the events of that first time you heard it, but not necessarily. Your emotional attachment to the song may have developed later on, when you heard it playing at a party, on one of the most memorable nights of your teenage life, for example. Perhaps it’s just a song (or songs) your parents played a lot when you were young, and it could be a song you yourself heard many times, and looking back realized it holds a special place in your heart, for whatever reason. There are also songs that are special to romantic couples (This song was playing when we…; This is our song; We were together the first time we heard this song; etc.) and these songs, for obvious reasons, can be added to a personalized music playlist at any time in life, as new and old songs take on added personal significance in various ways. There are a multitude of ways that novelty and emotion can combine to form experiences worth remembering, by which memories are made, and if these experiences are imprinted with a musical stamp, the song stamped onto the memory is likely to remain just as memorable as the event itself, and conversely, listening to the song has the potential to vivify the memories and feelings of nostalgia related to the song. Therefore, as a preventative measure we can implement now, and an insurance policy we may benefit from later, it is advisable that each person should endeavor to compile their own personal, individualized cognitive reserve playlist. When speaking to someone about this idea, they responded, “But what’s the hurry? After all, you’re still quite young.” Just then, it spontaneously occurred to me that a traumatic head injury could befall me the following day or any day hence, and the simple point that “it’s never too early” was well taken. To create your own cognitive reserve playlist, it is helpful to have a few guiding parameters. Most important of all is to keep an open mind without setting anything in stone. It’s not necessary to finalize the list immediately, if ever. This is a project that deserves your thoughtful consideration, so you deserve to be allowed to take your time. It’s better to get the list populated with your definite favorites, and as many others that come to mind, just to kick-start the process. Besides, due to the virtually infinite number of songs and compositions in existence, we will never be able to make the perfect list in one day, one month, or even one year. We can always revisit the list and make changes later, because our minds cannot retrieve all the data at once. We must go about our business of carrying on, and wait for it to come to us. (It’s guaranteed to be worth the wait, so never fret about it.) You may even find yourself removing one of those “definite favorites” from the list, which is welcome and fine, because it’s not merely a list of your favorite songs. Being a “favorite” is just one of multiple indicators that a song might be appropriate for a cognitive reserve playlist. “Memorable” is another key word. There are still other factors that determine a song’s suitability for a personal playlist, such as a song that isn’t a personal favorite, but which nevertheless evokes a strong emotional response in some other way. This is best described as nostalgia, and nostalgic emotions are powerful anchors for memories. So any song that arouses some sense of nostalgia also has the power to arouse the memory of events, places, times, and other details tied to that nostalgia. To know what songs are nostalgic for you and add them to your list today, may help you if a time should come that you need music as therapy in order to trigger your memory and cognitive function. It is because of nostalgia that many songs from our youth are good candidates for inclusion on the playlist. Songs that were popular on the radio or TV when we were children, theme songs from popular television programs that are unforgettable for us, and songs that acted as the soundtrack to our lives, so to speak, while growing into childhood, and then blossoming again from adolescence into adulthood. This period is rich with music of great significance to our personal center. It is my sincere hope that all people earnestly endeavor to compile their own personalized cognitive reserve playlists, and encourage their loved ones to do the same. Maybe it can help those who suffer to better cope with the condition. Perhaps starting this project now, and focusing on mental health now can be a significant contributing factor to developing robust cognitive reserve in the first place, thereby heading off the worst of what this condition can throw at us, and delaying it until later. And of course, not only should we create the lists, but it’s highly recommended that we also play the songs frequently, and dance to them as well, preferably. It is in the interest of your future health, ability, mobility, enjoyment, and ease of living that I offer this potentially beneficial suggestion, and I am grateful that you have taken the time to hear me out regarding my passion about the restorative and healing properties of music, as they relate to the broader topic of neuroplasticity. So on that note, shall we press play and dance?

\~ The person came up to me from behind his merchandise stand and saw my Noderunners pin on my black t-shirt, then looked me dead in the eye and asked : “So… what do you sell?” *This is the eighth long-read in a series of twelve “food for thought” writings on Bitcoin. It was originally meant to be a few chapters in a book, but life’s too short for that.* ## **Define** Let me start by saying there’s no single way to define or explain a “Bitcoin conference.” The experience can vary depending on a few factors: who’s organizing it (a long-time Bitcoiner or someone from traditional finance trying to grasp Bitcoin), where it’s being held (a sunny paradise like Madeira or a gloomy northern French town), and who’s speaking (technical experts or charismatic entertainers or people with little substance). Despite these differences, there’s a shared culture that ties these conferences together: a mix of excitement, frustrations, and inevitable evolution. That’s what I explore. This is just my take, based on what I’ve personally witnessed and what I hear from my surroundings. It’s not meant to be a blanket critique of all Bitcoin conferences as there are plenty I haven’t attended, though I hear about most of them. Even the good ones will evolve into something else over time. So, plan accordingly. A bit of background on my perspective: at some point in my life, I hit a bump in the road that kept me tied to where I live — a bleak corner of Belgium, surrounded by fiat slaves, shitcoiners, and people who spend six hours a day consuming brain-numbing garbage television. Traveling is an exception for me, but for many Bitcoin conference attendees, it’s a ritual, a must-do event. So, I view these events with a mix of fascination and grounded skepticism — something I’ve found lacking in many Bitcoiners. I’ve never been to a Bitcoin conference before 2023, despite receiving plenty of invites over the years. From what I heard and saw in photos from friends who attended (even the real early ones) these events seemed eerily similar to the dull hotel conference rooms I once endured in tech and telecom. I’ve had my fill of lukewarm, watery coffee and lifeless speakers droning on about firewalls. So I skipped that particular honor. Up until around 2018, Bitcoin conferences were a soulless sea of chairs lined up under fluorescent tube lights, draining the life out of attendees—one telecom acronym at a time. Not exactly inviting. Yet, looking back from the perspective of 2025, those were the “pure” days. Back then, people like Roger Ver (before he pivoted to Bitcoin Cash), Andreas Antonopoulos, and encryption specialists spoke to small audiences, explaining Bitcoin in its raw form. But, like any Bitcoiner, I try to improve myself. So, I made the effort to travel, visit other Bitcoiners, and attend Bitcoin conferences. The conferences I attended in 2023/2024 made me a bit wiser ; not necessarily from what was said on stage (with a few lucky exceptions who still try to bring original thoughts). Most of what I learned came from the long queues, the drama, and watching grifters operate in real time and the good characters floating around. So, here’s what I’ve learned. <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/d49fdda9ecb03f04f6c778e5301c67cf2bb15ff3b8647d929cb1755a9f6660a4.png"> **Chain of ticket** I quickly discovered that many Bitcoin conferences have their own “quest for tickets” dynamic, almost like an industry with its own inner circle. It’s a waterfall system: tickets start at lower prices to fill up the venue (usually right after the previous edition). That’s standard practice, both inside and outside of Bitcoin. But what’s strange is seeing organizations that only pop up when a conference needs promotion—somehow securing tickets for themselves and their friends (or for \*making\* friends) while shilling referral links for small discounts to their followers. The real free tickets, though, are a hot topic in many local communities and make all the difference for some attendees. What’s particularly interesting is that most ticket prices can be paid in Bitcoin, adding a layer of calculation to the process. If you paid 230500 sats for your ticket and later see the dollar price fluctuate, say from $180 to $270, or the other way around, by the time the conference starts, you realize you either bought too late or too early.\ It’s better to not have bought at all. Some ticket holders end up paying less (in dollar terms) than others, making it a gamble. As the event date approaches, ticket prices tend to rise—unless you wait until the last minute, when they haven’t sold out, or just pay at the door. It’s a strange feeling knowing that not everyone paid the same amount (and as mentioned, a significant number get in for free) depending on their timing. Many organizations and local community representatives show up primarily to be present; securing free tickets, which function more as a badge of recognition than a necessity.\ It’s similar to how a rock groupie sees backstage access: a status symbol, whether for an autograph or something more. Being seen standing next to big names is a huge deal for some, as they derive their own status from proximity.\ This also reinforces the “rockstar status” that conferences create around certain figures, once they come out to take a selfie with some nice people and young fans, then to quickly disappear back to the ‘whale room’ or backstage. There’s often an entire insider network determining who gets these free tickets. In some cases, it’s naturally tied to the local community, but in others, the professionalism is laughably low. At certain events, you could probably just walk up to the entrance (if there’s even someone checking) and say, “I’m with the organization” to get in for free. It gets even more absurd.\ At a conference near the French-Swiss border, I was probably one of the very few who actually paid for entry. The real spectacle wasn’t in the talk rooms — which remained eerily empty — but in the dining area, where half the town seemed to have shown up just for the free food. Around 200 people queued for a free lunch, while the presentation halls were at best one-third full throughout the day. And beyond the ticket games, there are plenty of ways to slip in unnoticed. Carrying a random piece of equipment and mumbling\ “I need to put this crate in the back” can get you past security. Or you can just wait for the one security guard to get distracted by chatting up a girl or stepping out for a smoke, and you’re in. At one event, I walked in alongside someone carrying crates of wine for the VIP lounge. I blended in perfectly (I paid afterward). So, to sum up: at nearly every conference I’ve been to, a big portion of attendees either walk in for free or hold compensation tickets they got through some connection. Sometimes that connection is uncomfortably close to the organizers. Other times, they just slap an “industry” label on themselves when, in reality, they’re nothing more than a social media bio with a few followers. Local representatives of a podcast, community, influencer network, or fake marketing club also get in for free. And you? The regular guest, you and I are paying for them. There’s no real vetting process; with some organizers, anyone wearing a Bitcoin t-shirt and saying the magic words “I do community building” or “I know the local Bitcoin meetups” gets a free pass. The ones who actually want to learn about Bitcoin — the ones who click the link and pay full price — are the ones covering the costs for everyone else and ultimately making these conferences profitable (or at least break even). The problem? They’re the ones left wondering: “Was it really worth my time and money?” only to never return again most of the time. Because many of the people at these conferences aren’t there to learn. They’re part of the circus. And others? They’re the ones paying for the circus boss, the clowns, and the trapeze artists. At that one conference with the massive free-lunch crowd, I saw one interesting talk. And I had plenty of valuable conversations and observations — conversations I could have just as easily had by visiting that place outside of a conference setting. In the end, I realized the main reason I was there was to support a fellow Bitcoiner giving a presentation. And after that? They disappeared from my life. Because, just like in the fiat world, you’re only as good as your last few hours of usefulness to most people. Which brings me to the next element of Bitcoin conferences...friends **Bitcoin “frens”** This might be the hardest lesson of all: you meet fellow Bitcoiners at these conferences. And some of them? They’re truly special characters. A few even made such a deep connection with not-so-well-traveled-me that I would’ve gladly traveled a full travel day just to spend time working and doing something meaningful together (which I actually did). But most of these connections? They last only a moment. Few survive beyond the conference, mainly because of the vast distances— both in kilometers (or miles) and in the way we live our everyday lives. The Bitcoiners you meet at these events are, for the most part, just regular people trying to make ends meet in the fiat world while saving in Bitcoin. Or they’re chasing the Bitcoin dream or even find a job in the fata morgana of bitcoin jobs. They act like they belong, like a clown acting like he’s going to climb the trapeze. I respect that. But over time, I realized that many of them operate in Bitcoin mode; a kind of facade. Behind that front, that mask, most are just testing the waters to see if they can make it. And most don’t.\ Treating Bitcoin as a lifestyle movement, a career shortcut, or an identity, has its limits. Eventually, the real person breaks through. And you have to face your own instincts and personality.\ I’ve tried to be an acrobat, and ride the lion, make the audience laugh, but I’m still the seal who’s brought back to the cage after he balanced a ball on his nose. The quote “I’m Jack’s wasted life.” came to mind often when standing somewhere at a conference space. Self-doubting people stay self-doubting, owning Bitcoin or not. Emotional wrecks remain emotional wrecks — just with Bitcoin now. And when these masks slip off, you’ll see everything: the greed, the overconfidence, the longing for drama, the addictions, the narcissism, the energy-draining personalities, sleaziness usually with the ones who always say the right oneliners or wear the right Bitcoin merch to blend in. And you can love people for that. Everyone has flaws. Everyone has a price as well. But these Bitcoin “frens” can also hurt you badly. Because as Bitcoiners, we carry hopes. And hopes are like ants on a sidewalk, they’ll eventually get crushed.\ We long to meet people who see the same truth, the same vision of Bitcoin as we do. Some will act like they actually understand and do, they talk the talk for a while, as if they’re parroting a podcast. If you stay in the shadows - like I did for years - you won’t have to deal with these things. If you never try, you’ll never be let down. But you still stay in the imaginary basement, letting yourself down. That’s not the bitcoin style. We router around problems. Even if we stand amidst the problems (like a conference). But if you do? There’s a hefty price to pay — beyond just the money spent. It’s a cost paid in energy, emotions, and social interactions and above all: time. And once in a while, you’ll meet a friend for life. Just be prepared: Bitcoin is a journey that few people you encounter at a conference can take for longer than four years, or even four hours of conversation actually. And then, after navigating the social maze of Bitcoin conferences —the connections, the masks, the fleeting friendships, the smell of weed and regret — you find yourself facing an even greater challenge: the queue at a coffee stall. <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/26f00a14b1ff12ea82635f1fd659900a7a836d37591556a31fda91d8210dcff0.png"> ## ## \ The Soviet LN Queue It’s one of the most fascinating and frustrating aspects of every conference: the insanely long lines. Whether it’s for the toilets, a coffee booth, or some niche merchandise stall, you’ll see Bitcoiners waiting like it’s 1963 after a Soviet state bakery just got fresh deliveries. waiting for coffee Seriously, aren’t we supposed to be the pinnacle of free-market efficiency? Instead, we’ve somehow perfected the art of the long food lines. I remember people waiting in line for like 35 minutes to order a cappuccino! The usual culprit? A mix of payment chaos and the Bitcoin Orangepill mental issues in action. A large portion insists on using Lightning (as in "their preferred lighting wallet"), which would be fine except they’re fumbling with some exotic, half-working wallet because using something that’s actually fast might get them sneered at for being “custodial.” On top of that, vendors are juggling card payments, cash, various Lightning POS systems, and even the occasional cutting edge dudes trying to pay with an Apple Watch or worse, some newly released Lightning-enabled gadget that doesn’t work yet. And when it does work, it requires so much attention and Instagram footage that it takes five minutes just to hand someone a coffee while the guy pays with a lighting NFC ring on his finger, something you can't use ànywhere else ever. It’s cool. But not to anyone else than you. So, here’s a tip for the regular people, the rats that pay for all of this : sneak out. Then you find a small, locally owned café outside the conference, pay them in cash, and actually enjoy your food in a few seconds or minutes. If (and only if) they accept Bitcoin, great! Tip them well. Otherwise, just relax and have a conversation with a local, all the while inside the conference venue there are Bitcoiners filming each other struggling to make a payment with the latest Lightning-enabled NFC card or making the staff uneasy. Meanwhile, some poor 22-year-old café worker is trapped in an unsolicited podcast participation: “Wait, you accept tips in Wallet of Satoshi? Who told you that? I’ll explain it to you!” Or worse: “Hold on, I just need to do a quick swap… It’s an on-chain transaction, the last block was 19 minutes ago, can’t be long now… wait… umm… do you take VISA?” At this point, ordering a simple drink at a Bitcoin conference has become an unnecessarily complex, ego-driven performance. With long queues as a direct result. And don’t get me started on the story when 30+ bitcoiners walked in to a Portuguese restaurant without a reservation, and they all wanted to pay with different payment methods. It was like the Vietnam war. **Solution:** A tip for conference organizers and their catering : pick one Bitcoin point of sales system, set clear guidelines, and make everyone stick to them. Instruct people to adhere to the following : Pay with a (bank) card, cash, or Lightning and PLEASE decide beforehand which method you’re using before ordering your stuff! We prefer lighting. If you’re using Lightning, have enough balance on you wallet or get lost. Use a compatible wallet. (Provide a tested “approved” list and train staff properly. Users who use other stuff get their order “cancelled” at the first sign of trouble. Your app‘s not scanning, or not compatible, or it has some technical mumbo-jumbo going on to your vpn LN node at home 2000 km away? Please get real and pay with a bank card or something. No filming, duck-facing (like it's 2017) or stupid selfies with your payment. It’s been done a thousand times by now. There are people in line, waiting behind you, they want to order as well, while you have your little ego trip or marketing moment. Move on please! “Our staff knows how bitcoin payments work, you don’t need to #orangesplain it to anyone.” We don’t care about your 200th LN app or the latest “but… this one is faster” thingy. Order your drinks, pay and get out of the way please. Bitcoin fixes many things. But it hasn’t quite fixed this yet. The bitcoin conference axiom Going to a conference, versus keeping your bitcoin in your wallet is a tough choice for many. If you pay nothing for tickets and lodging, while enjoying free meals and cocktails, your opportunity cost drops close to zero —yet your networking and social impact are maximized while you can also do business. That’s ideal. At least, for you. In such case, Bitcoin may only "win" over an extended timeline, but for you, it's essentially a free ride. You incur no real opportunity costs. You drink their milkshake. On the other hand, if you’re a regular attendee, you pay full price: the ticket, overpriced drinks and food from the stands (losing even more if you generously pay for coffee in sats), plus extras like t-shirts and books (which you’ll never read). Your milkshake gets taken—at least half of it. If you’re lucky, you might spend an evening in town with the event’s "stars"—those occasional luminaries who briefly grace the normies with their presence for a drink. Some can’t even hold their liquor. Year after year, the same 10 to 15 speakers or panelists appear, funded by your dime, traveling the world and enjoying the perks—some even cultivating fan bases and hosting exclusive parties. The real opportunity cost hits hardest for regular attendees who come to learn, shelling out significant money while accumulating their fourth hardware wallet or yet another orange-themed t-shirt. They might even squeeze in a selfie with a former sportswear model turned Bitcoiner. For normies (as they’re often called), the financial and social scales rarely tip in their favor. **Calculating the conference opportunity cost** To determine the opportunity cost of attending a conference instead of investing in Bitcoin, over time follow these steps: 1. Calculate your total conference expenses, including tickets, travel, food, drinks, and lodging (merchandise and donations). 2. Estimate Bitcoin’s percentage gain over the conference period and the following year(s). (in order to not make you cry, I suggest nog going over 5 years) 3. Multiply your total conference cost by this percentage to determine the potential Bitcoin profit you forgo. 4. Assign a dollar value to the networking or business opportunities you expect to gain from the conference (if you’re not just in it for the laughs, meeting high-class consultants, friendships, self-proclaimed social media Bitcoiners, or the occasional gyrating on one of the musicians/artists/food stall staff members). 5. Subtract this “networking” value from the missed Bitcoin profit to find your net opportunity cost (this is rather personal,… with me it’s zero, but for someone selling t-shirts it’s probably much more). If the result is negative over the chosen timeframe, the conference was financially worthwhile for you. If positive, holding or buying Bitcoin was the smarter move. Unless you’re a recognized speaker in this traveling circus, your opportunity cost will likely be positive — meaning all the others lose hard money, while fumbling with your Lightning wallet. The Conference Opportunity Cost Formula Let: CT = Total conference ticket & entrance cost (in dollars) CR = Total related conference costs (travel, lodging, food, etc.) C = CT + CR (Total cost) G = Bitcoin’s % gain per year (as a decimal, e.g., 5% = 0.05) N = Estimated fiat value of networking/business opportunities and knowledge gained. ### OC = (C × G) − N Where: OC (Opportunity Cost) &lt; 0 → The conference was worth attending. OC (Opportunity Cost) &gt; 0 → Holding/buying Bitcoin was the better move. Some example calculations (I've left out examples before 2020, I don't want people crying or waking up at night thinking "Why did I go to Amsterdam in 2014?!") example : Conference in April 2024 Entrance: $200 Lodging, t-shirt, and travel: $900 Bitcoin's estimated gain: 23% (0.23) No business / knowledge value gained OC = (200 + 900) × 0.23 - 0 - $253 OC (Bitcoin would have been the better choice.) Conference in April 2020 (adjusted for historical Bitcoin growth) Entrance: $175 Lodging and travel: $700 Bitcoin's estimated gain: 1089% (10.89) No business / knowledge value gained OC = (175 + 700) × 10.89 - 0 OC = +$9,529 (Massive missed gains — Bitcoin was the clear winner. \-- So the first lesson in bitcoin should be: Only attend conferences if you get paid to do so and get a free ticket and free lodging, which kind of would kill that whole industry to begin with. ### Energizing At first, it’s energizing to meet like-minded bitcoiners, but after a while, you realize that a big chunk of them are just trying to sell you something or aren’t really bitcoin-focused at all. And some of them are just looking for their next way to kill time and boredom. The drama that comes with attending these conference and the personal interaction can get pretty intense at times, since expectations often don’t match the personalities. Before you know, you’re walking around at night through some bad part of a town, while crying your eyes out because you thought you found your soulmate. Future pure industry conferences will suffer less from this drama, because everyone there has the same goal — pushing their company or product— while the “other” grassroots conferences are more of a meeting spot for bitcoiners of all types and perspectives, bringing the usual drama and mess that comes with human interactions. Current conferences are a mix of both usually. I think the current era of bitcoin conferences is coming to an end. Soon, probably by the end of 2025, we’ll see a clear split between industry-driven and human-driven (grassroots) smaller conferences, and it’ll be really important to keep these two separate. I even had the idea to launch a sort of conference where there wouldn’t be any industry speakers or companies present. Just bitcoiners gathering at a certain place at a specific week and having a good time. I called it “club Sat” And you could just go there, and meet other bitcoiners, while acting there was a big venue and speakers,… but there aren’t any. Would be refreshing. No struggle for tickets, no backstage stuff, no boring talks and presentation,… just the surroundings and the drama lever you want and probably like. ### On stage The podium is usually left for the known names. Not every conference is like that, but most of them need these names, badly. These names know each other, they encounter one another in VIP rooms and “the industry” a lot of times anyway. The same people you see in the bitcoin news, the same people having a cult following, and the very same people traveling, staying and drinking for free while spreading the same bitcoin wisdoms will be invited over and over again. Or… they go rock around as they’re usually so bored they had to start a rock band to entertain themselves. Which is rather entertaining if you’re following up on who does what, but in the end it’s largely just for their own amusement and it shows. I get that. I would do the same. It’s fun and all. It’s just a bit sad that there are only a small group of top-layer speakers, and then the sub-top that usually has more to say, or gets little opportunity. The reason for that is simple: the “normies” who pay in full for tickets, come there for the “big” names. They don’t know that much about bitcoin usually, so they’re not waiting on some unknown dude explaining something about an obscure niche subject. A debate can help remedie this, to mix it in with some lesser known names, but I have the feeling the current “line-up” of bitcoin conferences feels like a rock festival in 2025 putting the Stone temple pilots or Creed on the card. Yes, they’ll attract an audience and do their playset well,… but it’s not exactly the pinnacle of the music industry at the moment, neither is Madonna by the way :) ## Promoting anything The people organizing these events usually aren’t Bitcoiners either — they’re promoters (few exceptions though). <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/f478bf793b2048a51a15ceab5b8384abdb8d00c6d7c3cdd16731f5379cc1417d.png"> They don’t care if they organize a symposium about a newly discovered STD, A three-day cheese tasting event, a Star Trek convention, or a Lucha Libre wrestling tournament featuring El HODLador, as long as they can sell tickets and make money from merchandise they're good. The last thing on the mind with some of them will be helping bitcoin adoption. There will be a time (soon) where people that know bitcoin, known bitcoiners and know how to organize events get their act together. It will be different than the early days, and it will be different than the boring going-through-the-motions conferences we have now. There shall be fun, social gatherings, life, excitement and culture, and not the “what do you sell?” atmosphere, neither the “this old dude on stage again”? That’s why they’ll slap any semi-famous name on the poster to pull in a crowd - could be a washed-up Mexican wrestling star with strange legal issues, the cheese-tasting equivalent of Usain Bolt, or your neighborhood Bitcoin old-timer with a beard and a "best selling author" label. It’s also why most of these conferences end up being more about shitcoins than anything else. And even if they're for the most part about bitcoin, the venue is usually infested with marketing budgets, useless organizations that wanted complimentary tickets (some of them do only one thing: popping up when a conference is nearby and then they’re gone again) ... along with some hawking consultant types you never see anywhere else. They'll occasionally pay people but usually in fiat, or if you're a bigger name, you might get other deals. For artists or staff, it's all in fiat from what I heard. Pure Bitcoin conferences, also rely on these big names. Whether it’s a well-known Bitcoiner, a CEO, president, or someone with real reveling knowledge to share with the audience (though that last type is getting rare). ### **Looking for love in all the wrong places** \ Let’s also address the fair share of “orange diggers” at Bitcoin conferences—because yes, they exist. And no, let’s not single out one particular gender here. Some people treat a Bitcoin conference like a live-action dating app mixed with a financial vetting process for potential partners. It’s essentially an opportunity to inspect and assess the grab bag of fintech, crypto, and Bitcoin folks in real life. And if you think this is exaggerated, just attend a few conferences—three is enough. You’ll start noticing the same people popping up, seemingly without any real Bitcoin knowledge, but with a very strong interest in dining, chatting, and generally being around—as long as you look and play the part. I can only imagine how dialed-up this effect must be at a shitcoin conference — probably like flies on a cowpie. The trick is, in Bitcoin, these people try to blend in. Some even tag along with real Bitcoiners, while others just crash the party and try to get noticed. Their actual interest in Bitcoin? Close to zero. Their main target? Your wallet, or some fantasy thing about getting to know someone out of the ordinary. And that’s a shame for the people who genuinely care about Bitcoin, who want to network, or who simply are looking for like-minded people. They often find themselves competing for attention with those who’ve turned “being noticed” into a sport, while the rest just wander around, lost in the shuffle. Talk to the quiet ones. Certainly if they look like they belong in a antiques shop. My advice: Talk to people and be genuine. If you don’t know much about Bitcoin, that’s fine - nobody expects you to be a walking whitepaper and on top of that, most people you'll encounter don't know that much either. It’s bitcoin: we’re all rather average people that hold an extraordinary asset. Just don’t be "that orange digger" looking for a partner with a loaded bag of bitcoin. Because in the end, what’s the prize you win? You don’t know who’s under the mask. You don’t even know who’s under your own mask. Finding a man or woman at a place where half the people are laser-focused on financial sovereignty, and the other half are busy arguing about seed phrase storage, UTXO management, and why your Lightning wallet sucks? But good luck with that. The judge of character usually comes when they find the next shiny object or ditched you standing in the rain at the entrance of a restaurant while dealing with a lightning watchtower or a funny cigarette or whatever. If you’re truly looking for love, maybe stick to going to a normal bar. If you’re here to learn, connect, and be part of something of a grassroots movement, then be real yourself. I've seen some rather nasty examples of people at Bitcoin conferences—of all kinds. And I've also seen some really cool examples of truly awesome people. This led me to believe that Bitcoin conferences simply let you meet… people, just dialed up a bit. Future If you encounter rotten people, they’ll usually be even more rotten than in the fiat world. If you meet really cool people, they’ll be even more awesome than the cool people in the fiat world. Our volatility is our freedom. So, I guess it’s normal. Doesn’t make it any easier, though. Bitcoin sees through bullshit, and so do Bitcoiners (even if it takes 21,000 blocks) Pretty soon, I reckon we’ll see conferences fork into two camps: grass roots, and the “industry” level ones. (human / corporate) I guess I’ll only attend the human part, for sure, but I can’t help but booking myself a single room in a hotel in a nice area in that case, so I don’t have to deal with class of 2022 hippies sharing referral links to their middleman service while asking me for a lighter 3 times in a row. The chances for me of meeting cool bitcoiners in a nearby cocktail bar are a lot higher. In the meanwhile, I’ll look forward and see how the bitcoin conferences will evolve, fork in two “styles”. One corporate and one underground. Maybe there will be one more genre just for the fun of it. I’ll stay away, as I don’t like this current mix of industry gigs and having the insiders and “the rest” of us all mingled together clamoring for tickets, attention and coffee. The game is rigged. Staying at home is the better option (for now). written by AVB If you like : [tip here](https://coinos.io/allesvoorbitcoin/receive)

Good morning, readers! Georgian officials froze the bank accounts of five nonprofit organizations that provide financial and legal support to detained protesters. This follows rising public unrest as Georgia’s regime pushes new laws restricting free speech and assembly, introducing new fines and penalties, and expanding law enforcement powers. By eroding civil protections, the regime makes it more dangerous and costly for activists, dissenters, and everyday citizens to stand up against an increasingly repressive regime.\ \ Meanwhile, the Indian government introduced a new income tax bill that grants tax authorities sweeping surveillance power over anyone they “suspect” of tax evasion. If suspected, tax authorities are legally allowed to access Indians' email, social media, and bank accounts, raising obvious concerns over state overreach and invasions of individual financial privacy.\ \ In freedom tech news, HRF donated 1 billion satoshis to more than 20 projects worldwide, focusing on supporting human rights defenders and vulnerable communities under authoritarian regimes across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. These gifts advance censorship-resistant communications and transactions, bitcoin education, and privacy tools so that dissidents, nonprofits, and individuals may better protect their human rights and financial freedom. In this letter we also spotlight a new open-source mobile Bitcoin wallet called Cove. While still in beta, the wallet can be used with a hardware device or on its own as a hot wallet, offering a flexible self-custody setup for managing Bitcoin. We end with a podcast in which HRF Chief Strategy Officer Alex Gladstein discusses the state of freedom tech and why Bitcoin stands as the most promising tool for financial liberation. **Now, let’s get right to it!** ### [**SUBSCRIBE HERE**](https://mailchi.mp/hrf.org/financial-freedom-newsletter?mc_cid=bf652c0a5a) ## **GLOBAL NEWS** #### **Georgia | Officials Freeze Accounts of Organizations Supporting Protesters** Georgian officials have [frozen](https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2025/03/georgia-authorities-freeze-accounts-of-organizations-supporting-protesters-to-kill-the-peaceful-protests/) the bank accounts of five nonprofit organizations that provide financial and legal aid to dissenters. This comes in response to an uprising of protests over new controversial laws that restrict free expression and assembly, increase fines and detention periods, and expand law enforcement powers. Georgian officials justify the account freezes as part of an investigation into “sabotage,” yet they have provided no evidence. Amnesty International [warns](https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2025/03/georgia-authorities-freeze-accounts-of-organizations-supporting-protesters-to-kill-the-peaceful-protests/) this financial assault could “kill the entire protest movement.” Bitcoin provides a way to circumvent these struggles. Its uncensorable and permissionless nature has helped [sustain](https://www.journalofdemocracy.org/online-exclusive/how-to-dictator-proof-your-money/) pro-democracy movements across Belarus and Nigeria, proving it is capable of addressing the immense financial restrictions dictators impose. #### **United Arab Emirates | Plans to Launch “Digital Durham” CBDC in 2025** The United Arab Emirates (UAE) will [launch](https://www.businesstoday.in/technology/news/story/uae-to-launch-digital-dirham-by-year-end-to-modernise-payments-and-noost-financial-inclusion-470013-2025-03-31?utm_source=semafor#) its central bank digital currency (CBDC), the “[Digital Durham](https://cbdctracker.hrf.org/currency/united-arab-emirates),” by the end of 2025. [According](https://www.ledgerinsights.com/uae-to-launch-cbdc-in-q4-2025/) to the central bank, the CBDC will be available through licensed financial institutions and operate via a government-run digital wallet. Every transaction will be recorded on a permissioned blockchain run by the government. The central bank further [admitted](https://u.ae/en/about-the-uae/strategies-initiatives-and-awards/strategies-plans-and-visions/finance-and-economy/central-bank-digital-currency-strategy) the CBDC will replace cash and [assist](https://www.businesstoday.in/technology/news/story/uae-to-launch-digital-dirham-by-year-end-to-modernise-payments-and-noost-financial-inclusion-470013-2025-03-31?utm_source=semafor#) law enforcement “by leaving a digital trail for transactions involving illicit funds.” Officials [claim](https://www.businesstoday.in/technology/news/story/uae-to-launch-digital-dirham-by-year-end-to-modernise-payments-and-noost-financial-inclusion-470013-2025-03-31?utm_source=semafor#) this is to combat financial crime, but it also enables real-time surveillance and tracking of individual financial activity. In a country known for strict laws against dissent and extensive surveillance capabilities, it is not hard to see how a CBDC will erode the autonomy and rights of activists, dissenters, and others who oppose an increasingly authoritarian regime. #### **India | Grants Tax Authorities Access to Citizens’ Online Data** Starting in April 2026, the Indian government will [grant](https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/wealth/tax/your-email-and-social-media-account-can-be-accessed-by-income-tax-officer-starting-next-financial-year-in-these-cases/articleshow/118685184.cms) tax authorities legal access to the private online data of any citizen “suspected” of tax evasion. This will include legal access to personal emails, social media, and bank accounts. The new law expands on the Income Tax Act of 1961, which previously limited officials to searching physical premises for financial documents. Now, officials can bypass digital security measures and access private data without consent — all under a legal framework. This dissipation of financial privacy sets an intrusive precedent and opens the door to state-level corruption and surveillance in a country where the Modi regime has already made it clear they are happy to use financial repression to further cement their power. #### **Myanmar | Bitcoin as a Tool Support Earthquake Disaster Relief** Last week, a [7.7 magnitude earthquake](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/world/asia/earthquake-myanmar-thailand-death-toll.html) struck central Burma, with strong tremors reaching neighboring Thailand. The [official death toll ](https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/survivors-myanmar-quake-left-without-food-water-shelter-aid-groups-say-2025-04-01/)has surpassed 2700. And in Bangkok, a 33-story building under construction [collapsed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynrhyIh4ozo). Despite an already strenuous situation, Burma’s military junta continues its oppression. They are [blocking](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/world/asia/myanmar-earthquake-rescue.html) rescue teams from reaching the Sagaing region — the epicenter of the earthquake and the heart of Burma’s pro-democracy movement — and instead channeling aid to regime-controlled cities like Naypyidaw and Mandalay. The junta is also continuing to conduct air strikes on civilians and restricting equipment and fuel for aid groups, leaving a [million](https://data.unhcr.org/en/country/mmr) people in Sagaing to fend for themselves. In these repressive circumstances, Bitcoin can provide a censorship-resistant way to send funds directly to those affected. #### **Angola | Regime Jacks Price of Diesel** The Angolan regime [raised](https://www.rigzone.com/news/wire/angola_doubles_diesel_prices_after_imf_call_for_subsidy_cuts-25-mar-2025-180020-article/) diesel prices by 50% in the process of eliminating fuel subsidies. Diesel prices suddenly increased from 200 to 300 kwanza per liter, driving up transportation costs in a country where over half the population lives on [less](https://www.rigzone.com/news/wire/angola_doubles_diesel_prices_after_imf_call_for_subsidy_cuts-25-mar-2025-180020-article/) than $2 a day and inflation is over 42%. Previous fuel subsidy cuts in 2023 (where the price of diesel rose [80%](https://www.dw.com/en/angolan-police-crack-down-on-fuel-hike-protests/a-65978231)) sparked [protests](https://www.dw.com/en/angolan-police-crack-down-on-fuel-hike-protests/a-65978231) between taxi drivers, nonprofit workers, and law enforcement. This recent price increase now raises fears of renewed crackdowns. The Angolan regime also introduced new civil society laws that Guilherme Neves, chairman of the human rights organization Associacao Maos Livres, [describes](https://www.dw.com/en/angolan-police-crack-down-on-fuel-hike-protests/a-65978231) as a “license to erase non-governmental organizations that are not government-compliant.” Angolans find themselves in increasingly precarious financial positions as the government erodes the civil safeguards protecting nonprofits and dissenters. #### **Nicaragua | Ortega’s Dismantling of Press Freedom** Since coming to power in 2007, Ortega has [closed or seized](https://havanatimes.org/features/ortegas-war-on-journalism-in-nicaragua/) 61 media outlets, imprisoned countless journalists, and forced over 280 journalists into exile. His [assault on press freedom](https://havanatimes.org/features/ortegas-war-on-journalism-in-nicaragua/) has unfolded in two phases: initial raids on local radio stations and TV channels between 2007 and 2017, followed by full-scale censorship in 2018 on independent media outlets like [La Prensa](https://www.laprensani.com/) and [CONFIDENCIAL](https://confidencial.digital/). Ortega then intensified attacks from 2019 to 2021 by closing Nicaragua’s second-oldest newspaper and passing laws to [criminalize](https://havanatimes.org/features/ortegas-war-on-journalism-in-nicaragua/) free expression. This is a deliberate strategy to eliminate dissent and independent voices. What’s happening in Nicaragua highlights the importance of open and decentralized protocols like nostr, which allow journalists to publish freely without getting censored. While still early, it is becoming essential for sharing information absent the fear of being blocked or silenced by autocratic leaders. ## BITCOIN AND FREEDOM TECH NEWS #### **HRF | Gifts 1 Billion Satoshis to 20+ Open Source Projects Worldwide** HRF gifted 1 billion satoshis in its Q1 2025 round of [Bitcoin Development Fund](https://hrf.org/program/financial-freedom/bitcoin-development-fund/) (BDF) grants, supporting more than 20 open-source projects around the world. These projects advance Bitcoin education, open-source software, mining decentralization, and privacy tools for activists contending with authoritarian regimes across Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Supporting permissionless financial tools and censorship-resistant technologies empowers dissidents, journalists, and civil society to organize, transact, and communicate without state suppression and interference. Learn more about the grantees and their work [here](https://hrf.org/latest/hrf-bitcoin-development-fund-supports-20-projects-worldwide/). #### **Cove | New Open-Source and Permissionless Bitcoin Wallet** [Cove](https://github.com/bitcoinppl/cove) is a new open-source and permissionless mobile Bitcoin wallet that aims to put users in full control of their Bitcoin. Users can connect their own hardware wallet (to manage Bitcoin offline) or use Cove as a hot wallet (to manage Bitcoin online). It also allows users to create multiple wallets from the app itself. In the future, Cove plans to add Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) selection and coin control, giving users more independence over their transactions and the tools to better protect their financial privacy. While still in beta and only suitable for test funds, this wallet holds promise as a privacy tool to equip dissidents with self-custodied Bitcoin. You can try it [here](https://github.com/bitcoinppl/cove). #### **Second | New Ark Implementation Launches on Bitcoin Signet** [Second](https://second.tech/), a company building on Ark, a protocol designed to help scale Bitcoin’s transaction throughput, [launched](https://blog.second.tech/try-ark-on-signet/?ref=nobsbitcoin.com) “Bark.” Bark is a test implementation of the Ark protocol deployed on Bitcoin’s [Signet](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Signet) network (where developers test software). More broadly, the Ark protocol helps make Bitcoin transactions more private, faster, and cheaper, supporting the network in handling more transactions and users with the tradeoff of being less trusted than the mainchain, as funds stored in a noncustodial way on Ark can expire if not used. While it is still in early development, the test release of Bark marks a step toward deployment on the main Bitcoin network. Scaling solutions like Ark could be important for activists and individuals. They might ensure Bitcoin remains accessible to all, even as block space demand increases and network fees rise. Learn about it [here](https://blog.second.tech/try-ark-on-signet/?ref=nobsbitcoin.com). #### **Braiins | Open Sources Bitcoin Control Board** [Braiins](https://braiins.com/), a company building tools for Bitcoin mining, [open-sourced](https://x.com/BraiinsMining/status/1904601547855573458) its [BCB100](https://github.com/braiins/BCB100) Bitcoin Control Board, giving miners using their products greater insight and control over their Bitcoin mining hardware and firmware. Sharing the design files and firmware openly helps strengthen Bitcoin’s decentralization, making it more resilient against corporate or state interference. Specifically, open-sourcing mining hardware ensures individual miners can operate independently, reducing censorship risks across the entire network. In turn, this preserves financial freedom by keeping Bitcoin accessible and usable by dissidents, nonprofits, and individuals who need it most. #### **African Bitcoiners | Publish Bitcoin Starter Guide** [African Bitcoiners](https://x.com/afribitcoiners) just published “[Bitcoin: Africa’s Guide to Freedom Money](https://x.com/afribitcoiners/status/1904516726273851513),” a Bitcoin guide providing clear, practical insights into how Bitcoin can help people across the continent escape inflation, corrupt regimes, and failing financial systems. It covers essential topics to get started — from choosing a wallet to properly securing Bitcoin. In Africa, where some of the world’s longest-standing dictators restrict even basic financial activity, this guide is a powerful resource for human rights defenders, nonprofits, and everyday citizens. Read it[ here](https://bitcoiners.africa/bitcoin-africas-guide-to-freedom-money/). #### **OpenSats | 10th Wave of Nostr Grants** [OpenSats](https://opensats.org/), a nonprofit that supports open-source software development, [announced](https://opensats.org/blog/10th-wave-of-nostr-grants) its tenth wave of grants for projects in the nostr ecosystem. Nostr is a decentralized protocol that enables digital identity and communications outside the reach of authoritarian states. The grant round provides support to nostr Epoxy, which enhances access to nostr by circumventing censorship through a network of paid proxies. This ensures activists and dissidents can continue to communicate even in restrictive environments. Additionally, Zapstore received a grant for providing a permissionless app store built on nostr that enables developers to distribute software without corporate gatekeepers. This provides an open-source alternative to centralized app stores that often comply with government censorship and restrict dissidents’ access to freedom tools. ## RECOMMENDED CONTENT #### **Freedom Tech with Alex Gladstein** In this [episode](https://x.com/blockspacepod/status/1896229100702089589?s=46&t=yEPKerGEzeCp5j_mIaNJ8A) of The Gwart Show, Alex Gladstein, chief strategy officer at HRF, breaks down how and why Bitcoin serves as “money dictators can’t stop.” Drawing on more than 17 years of human rights work, he shares real-world examples of activists and citizens using Bitcoin to escape financial repression in authoritarian countries.

In an era where centralized platforms dominate the internet, concerns over censorship, privacy, and data ownership have led to the rise of decentralized alternatives. One such innovation is Nostr, a lightweight and resilient protocol designed to enable censorship-resistant and decentralized communication. In this article, we will explore what Nostr is, how it works, its advantages, and why it is gaining traction among privacy advocates and decentralized technology enthusiasts. ### **What is Nostr?** Nostr (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) is an open protocol designed for creating censorship-resistant social networks and communication platforms. Unlike traditional social media networks, which rely on centralized servers controlled by corporations, Nostr operates on a decentralized model using cryptographic keys and relays. Nostr allows users to publish and receive messages without the need for a central authority. It is not tied to any single application but instead provides a foundation upon which developers can build various types of social and communication tools. ### **How Does Nostr Work?** Nostr consists of two main components: 1. **Clients** – Applications that users interact with, such as social media platforms, chat applications, or blogging tools. 2. **Relays** – Servers that distribute messages between clients without storing them permanently or acting as gatekeepers. When a user wants to send a message or publish content, their client signs the data using their private key and broadcasts it to multiple relays. Other users who subscribe to those relays can receive and interact with the messages. Nostr does not have a concept of user accounts managed by a central entity. Instead, identity is established using public and private cryptographic keys. The private key is used to sign messages, while the public key acts as the user’s identity across the network. ### **Advantages of Nostr** 1. **Censorship Resistance** – Since Nostr does not rely on a central authority, it is much harder for governments or corporations to censor content. Users can publish messages freely, and if one relay refuses to distribute them, they can simply use another. 2. **Privacy and Security** – Messages are signed using cryptographic keys, ensuring authenticity and reducing the risk of impersonation. Users retain full control over their identities and content. 3. **Interoperability** – Nostr is not tied to a single platform or application. Developers can create different types of services using the protocol, from microblogging platforms to encrypted messaging apps. 4. **Resilience** – Since the network relies on multiple relays instead of a single centralized server, it is less susceptible to shutdowns or attacks. ### **Use Cases for Nostr** - **Decentralized Social Media** – Platforms like Twitter alternatives can be built on Nostr, allowing users to post updates without fear of censorship. - **Private Messaging** – Secure and encrypted messaging applications can be developed using the protocol. - **Blogging and Content Publishing** – Writers and journalists can publish articles in a censorship-resistant manner. - **Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Communities** – Many Bitcoin enthusiasts are adopting Nostr due to its decentralized nature and alignment with privacy-focused principles. ### **Challenges and Limitations** While Nostr is a promising technology, it is still in its early stages and faces several challenges: - **Adoption and Network Effects** – Since Nostr is not as widely used as traditional social media platforms, building a strong user base is a challenge. - **Spam and Moderation** – Without central moderation, handling spam and malicious content is more difficult, requiring innovative solutions such as reputation-based filtering. - **User Experience** – Decentralized networks often have a steeper learning curve for new users compared to centralized platforms. ### **The Future of Nostr** Despite these challenges, Nostr is gaining momentum among privacy advocates, developers, and decentralized technology supporters. With continued development and improvements in usability, Nostr has the potential to reshape online communication by offering a truly decentralized and censorship-resistant platform. As more developers create applications and services using Nostr, its ecosystem is likely to expand, providing a viable alternative to traditional social media networks. Whether you are a developer, a privacy-conscious user, or someone interested in the future of decentralized internet, Nostr is a technology worth exploring. ### **Conclusion** Nostr represents a significant step toward a more open and decentralized internet. By removing central points of control and enabling user-driven communication, it empowers individuals to interact freely without the risk of censorship or data exploitation. As the protocol matures and more applications emerge, it could play a crucial role in shaping the next generation of online communication. If you are interested in experimenting with Nostr, you can start by exploring various Nostr-based applications, setting up your cryptographic keys, and connecting with the growing community of users and developers. The future of decentralized communication is just beginning, and Nostr is at the forefront of this movement. **Understanding Nostr: A Decentralized Social Network Protocol** In an era where centralized platforms dominate the internet, concerns over censorship, privacy, and data ownership have led to the rise of decentralized alternatives. One such innovation is Nostr, a lightweight and resilient protocol designed to enable censorship-resistant and decentralized communication. In this article, we will explore what Nostr is, how it works, its advantages, and why it is gaining traction among privacy advocates and decentralized technology enthusiasts. ### **What is Nostr?** Nostr (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) is an open protocol designed for creating censorship-resistant social networks and communication platforms. Unlike traditional social media networks, which rely on centralized servers controlled by corporations, Nostr operates on a decentralized model using cryptographic keys and relays.

**Spanien bleibt einer der Vorreiter im europäischen Prozess der totalen Überwachung** per Digitalisierung. Seit Mittwoch ist dort der digitale Personalausweis verfügbar. Dabei handelt es sich um eine Regierungs-[App](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=es.gob.interior.policia.midni), die auf dem Smartphone installiert werden muss und in den Stores von Google und Apple zu finden ist. Per Dekret von Regierungschef Pedro Sánchez und Zustimmung des Ministerrats ist diese Maßnahme jetzt [in Kraft](https://archive.is/89H4i) getreten. **Mit den üblichen Argumenten der Vereinfachung,** des Komforts, der Effizienz und der Sicherheit preist das Innenministerium die «Innovation» an. Auch die Beteuerung, dass die digitale Variante parallel zum physischen Ausweis existieren wird und diesen nicht ersetzen soll, fehlt nicht. Während der ersten zwölf Monate wird «der Neue» noch nicht für alle Anwendungsfälle gültig sein, ab 2026 aber schon. **Dass die ganze Sache auch «Risiken und Nebenwirkungen» haben könnte,** wird in den Mainstream-Medien eher selten thematisiert. Bestenfalls wird der Aspekt der Datensicherheit angesprochen, allerdings in der Regel direkt mit dem Regierungsvokabular von den «maximalen Sicherheitsgarantien» abgehandelt. Dennoch gibt es einige weitere Aspekte, die Bürger mit etwas Sinn für Privatsphäre bedenken sollten. **Um sich die digitale Version des nationalen Ausweises besorgen zu können** (eine App mit dem Namen MiDNI), muss man sich vorab online [registrieren](https://www.midni.gob.es). Dabei wird die Identität des Bürgers mit seiner mobilen Telefonnummer verknüpft. Diese obligatorische fixe Verdrahtung kennen wir von diversen anderen Apps und Diensten. Gleichzeitig ist das die Basis für eine perfekte Lokalisierbarkeit der Person. **Für jeden Vorgang der Identifikation in der Praxis wird später** «eine Verbindung zu den Servern der Bundespolizei aufgebaut». Die Daten des Individuums werden «in Echtzeit» verifiziert und im Erfolgsfall von der Polizei signiert zurückgegeben. Das Ergebnis ist ein QR-Code mit zeitlich begrenzter Gültigkeit, der an Dritte weitergegeben werden kann. **Bei derartigen Szenarien sträuben sich einem halbwegs kritischen Staatsbürger die Nackenhaare.** Allein diese minimale Funktionsbeschreibung lässt die totale Überwachung erkennen, die damit ermöglicht wird. Jede Benutzung des Ausweises wird künftig registriert, hinterlässt also Spuren. Und was ist, wenn die Server der Polizei einmal kein grünes Licht geben? Das wäre spätestens dann ein Problem, wenn der digitale doch irgendwann der einzig gültige Ausweis ist: Dann haben wir den abschaltbaren Bürger. **Dieser neue Vorstoß der Regierung von Pedro Sánchez ist ein weiterer Schritt** in Richtung der [«totalen Digitalisierung»](https://archive.is/Gwc4B) des Landes, wie diese Politik in manchen Medien – nicht einmal kritisch, sondern sehr naiv – genannt wird. Ebenso verharmlosend wird auch erwähnt, dass sich das spanische Projekt des digitalen Ausweises nahtlos in die Initiativen der EU zu einer digitalen Identität für alle Bürger sowie des digitalen Euro einreiht. **In Zukunft könnte der neue Ausweis** «auch in andere staatliche und private digitale Plattformen integriert werden», wie das Medienportal *Cope* ganz richtig bemerkt. Das ist die Perspektive. *\[Titelbild:* *[Pixabay](https://pixabay.com/de/photos/liebe-love-herz-rose-bindung-3141742/)]* *Dazu passend:* [Nur Abschied vom Alleinfahren? Monströse spanische Überwachungsprojekte gemäß EU-Norm](https://pareto.space/a/naddr1qqxnzde5xg6r2wphxscryvpjqgs2jhrzgwzvvzgz42kfmef2kr7w8x573k4r62c5ydjh8gyn6dz4ytqrqsqqqa28fq5d4m) *** Dieser Beitrag wurde mit dem [Pareto-Client](https://pareto.space/read) geschrieben und ist zuerst auf ***[Transition News](https://transition-news.org/spanien-erneut-europaisches-versuchslabor-der-digitale-ausweis-ist-da)*** erschienen.

Ist es wirklich so, dass Gendern für mehr Gleichberechtigung sorgt, für ein friedlicheres Miteinander? Abgesehen von den grammatikalischen Verirrungen, die sich dabei in die Sprache schleichen, darf die Frage erlaubt sein, warum ein Gemeinschaftsgefühl, das „Wir“ in immer kleinere Einheiten, auch sprachlich geteilt werden soll. Muss ich tatsächlich alle benennen?&#x20; [https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/gendern-die-sakralsprache-des?](https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/gendern-die-sakralsprache-des?color=ffd400) Dann wäre das eine Liste von Namen. Verlese ich die nicht, sondern gendere mit Glottisschlag und allem was dazu gehört, unterteile ich ja doch in Gruppen. Und Gruppen haben zur Eigenart, dass es Zugehörigkeiten gibt und ausgeschlossen sein. So beginnt der Kampf. Zunächst war die Frau minderwertig, jetzt ist der Mann toxisch. Und was, wann zu wem, wie gesagt werden darf wird zum Spießrutenlauf. „Misgendern“ ist beispielsweise eine Wortneuschöpfungen, die eine Incorrectness der Sprache bezeichnet, die bis in die Strafbarkeit reichen will. Einer, der von dieser rigide anmutenden Sprach-Religion getriggert wird, ist Gerald Ehegartner.

The last question was asked for the first time, half in jest, on May 21, 2061, at a time when humanity first stepped into the light. The question came about as a result of a five-dollar bet over highballs, and it happened this way: Alexander Adell and Bertram Lupov were two of the faithful attendants of Multivac. As well as any human beings could, they knew what lay behind the cold, clicking, flashing face -- miles and miles of face -- of that giant computer. They had at least a vague notion of the general plan of relays and circuits that had long since grown past the point where any single human could possibly have a firm grasp of the whole. Multivac was self-adjusting and self-correcting. It had to be, for nothing human could adjust and correct it quickly enough or even adequately enough. So Adell and Lupov attended the monstrous giant only lightly and superficially, yet as well as any men could. They fed it data, adjusted questions to its needs and translated the answers that were issued. Certainly they, and all others like them, were fully entitled to share in the glory that was Multivac's. For decades, Multivac had helped design the ships and plot the trajectories that enabled man to reach the Moon, Mars, and Venus, but past that, Earth's poor resources could not support the ships. Too much energy was needed for the long trips. Earth exploited its coal and uranium with increasing efficiency, but there was only so much of both. But slowly Multivac learned enough to answer deeper questions more fundamentally, and on May 14, 2061, what had been theory, became fact. The energy of the sun was stored, converted, and utilized directly on a planet-wide scale. All Earth turned off its burning coal, its fissioning uranium, and flipped the switch that connected all of it to a small station, one mile in diameter, circling the Earth at half the distance of the Moon. All Earth ran by invisible beams of sunpower. Seven days had not sufficed to dim the glory of it and Adell and Lupov finally managed to escape from the public functions, and to meet in quiet where no one would think of looking for them, in the deserted underground chambers, where portions of the mighty buried body of Multivac showed. Unattended, idling, sorting data with contented lazy clickings, Multivac, too, had earned its vacation and the boys appreciated that. They had no intention, originally, of disturbing it. They had brought a bottle with them, and their only concern at the moment was to relax in the company of each other and the bottle. "It's amazing when you think of it," said Adell. His broad face had lines of weariness in it, and he stirred his drink slowly with a glass rod, watching the cubes of ice slur clumsily about. "All the energy we can possibly ever use for free. Enough energy, if we wanted to draw on it, to melt all Earth into a big drop of impure liquid iron, and still never miss the energy so used. All the energy we could ever use, forever and forever and forever." Lupov cocked his head sideways. He had a trick of doing that when he wanted to be contrary, and he wanted to be contrary now, partly because he had had to carry the ice and glassware. "Not forever," he said. "Oh, hell, just about forever. Till the sun runs down, Bert." "That's not forever." "All right, then. Billions and billions of years. Ten billion, maybe. Are you satisfied?" Lupov put his fingers through his thinning hair as though to reassure himself that some was still left and sipped gently at his own drink. "Ten billion years isn't forever." "Well, it will last our time, won't it?" "So would the coal and uranium." "All right, but now we can hook up each individual spaceship to the Solar Station, and it can go to Pluto and back a million times without ever worrying about fuel. You can't do that on coal and uranium. Ask Multivac, if you don't believe me. "I don't have to ask Multivac. I know that." "Then stop running down what Multivac's done for us," said Adell, blazing up, "It did all right." "Who says it didn't? What I say is that a sun won't last forever. That's all I'm saying. We're safe for ten billion years, but then what?" Lupow pointed a slightly shaky finger at the other. "And don't say we'll switch to another sun." There was silence for a while. Adell put his glass to his lips only occasionally, and Lupov's eyes slowly closed. They rested. Then Lupov's eyes snapped open. "You're thinking we'll switch to another sun when ours is done, aren't you?" "I'm not thinking." "Sure you are. You're weak on logic, that's the trouble with you. You're like the guy in the story who was caught in a sudden shower and who ran to a grove of trees and got under one. He wasn't worried, you see, because he figured when one tree got wet through, he would just get under another one." "I get it," said Adell. "Don't shout. When the sun is done, the other stars will be gone, too." "Darn right they will," muttered Lupov. "It all had a beginning in the original cosmic explosion, whatever that was, and it'll all have an end when all the stars run down. Some run down faster than others. Hell, the giants won't last a hundred million years. The sun will last ten billion years and maybe the dwarfs will last two hundred billion for all the good they are. But just give us a trillion years and everything will be dark. Entropy has to increase to maximum, that's all." "I know all about entropy," said Adell, standing on his dignity. "The hell you do." "I know as much as you do." "Then you know everything's got to run down someday." "All right. Who says they won't?" "You did, you poor sap. You said we had all the energy we needed, forever. You said 'forever.' It was Adell's turn to be contrary. "Maybe we can build things up again someday," he said. "Never." "Why not? Someday." "Never." "Ask Multivac." "You ask Multivac. I dare you. Five dollars says it can't be done." Adell was just drunk enough to try, just sober enough to be able to phrase the necessary symbols and operations into a question which, in words, might have corresponded to this: Will mankind one day without the net expenditure of energy be able to restore the sun to its full youthfulness even after it had died of old age? Or maybe it could be put more simply like this: How can the net amount of entropy of the universe be massively decreased? Multivac fell dead and silent. The slow flashing of lights ceased, the distant sounds of clicking relays ended. Then, just as the frightened technicians felt they could hold their breath no longer, there was a sudden springing to life of the teletype attached to that portion of Multivac. Five words were printed: INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR MEANINGFUL ANSWER. "No bet," whispered Lupov. They left hurriedly. By next morning, the two, plagued with throbbing head and cottony mouth, had forgotten the incident. 🔹 Jerrodd, Jerrodine, and Jerrodette I and II watched the starry picture in the visiplate change as the passage through hyperspace was completed in its non-time lapse. At once, the even powdering of stars gave way to the predominance of a single bright shining disk, the size of a marble, centered on the viewing-screen. "That's X-23," said Jerrodd confidently. His thin hands clamped tightly behind his back and the knuckles whitened. The little Jerrodettes, both girls, had experienced the hyperspace passage for the first time in their lives and were self-conscious over the momentary sensation of insideoutness. They buried their giggles and chased one another wildly about their mother, screaming, "We've reached X-23 -- we've reached X-23 -- we've --" "Quiet, children." said Jerrodine sharply. "Are you sure, Jerrodd?" "What is there to be but sure?" asked Jerrodd, glancing up at the bulge of featureless metal just under the ceiling. It ran the length of the room, disappearing through the wall at either end. It was as long as the ship. Jerrodd scarcely knew a thing about the thick rod of metal except that it was called a Microvac, that one asked it questions if one wished; that if one did not it still had its task of guiding the ship to a preordered destination; of feeding on energies from the various Sub-galactic Power Stations; of computing the equations for the hyperspatial jumps. Jerrodd and his family had only to wait and live in the comfortable residence quarters of the ship. Someone had once told Jerrodd that the "ac" at the end of "Microvac" stood for ''automatic computer" in ancient English, but he was on the edge of forgetting even that. Jerrodine's eyes were moist as she watched the visiplate. "I can't help it. I feel funny about leaving Earth." "Why, for Pete's sake?" demanded Jerrodd. "We had nothing there. We'll have everything on X-23. You won't be alone. You won't be a pioneer. There are over a million people on the planet already. Good Lord, our great-grandchildren will be looking for new worlds because X-23 will be overcrowded." Then, after a reflective pause, "I tell you, it's a lucky thing the computers worked out interstellar travel the way the race is growing." "I know, I know," said Jerrodine miserably. Jerrodette I said promptly, "Our Microvac is the best Microvac in the world." "I think so, too," said Jerrodd, tousling her hair. It was a nice feeling to have a Microvac of your own and Jerrodd was glad he was part of his generation and no other. In his father's youth, the only computers had been tremendous machines taking up a hundred square miles of land. There was only one to a planet. Planetary ACs they were called. They had been growing in size steadily for a thousand years and then, all at once, came refinement. In place of transistors, had come molecular valves so that even the largest Planetary AC could be put into a space only half the volume of a spaceship. Jerrodd felt uplifted, as he always did when he thought that his own personal Microvac was many times more complicated than the ancient and primitive Multivac that had first tamed the Sun, and almost as complicated as Earth's Planetarv AC (the largest) that had first solved the problem of hyperspatial travel and had made trips to the stars possible. "So many stars, so many planets," sighed Jerrodine, busy with her own thoughts. "I suppose families will be going out to new planets forever, the way we are now." "Not forever," said Jerrodd, with a smile. "It will all stop someday, but not for billions of years. Many billions. Even the stars run down, you know. Entropy must increase. "What's entropy, daddy?" shrilled Jerrodette II. "Entropy, little sweet, is just a word which means the amount of running-down of the universe. Everything runs down, you know, like your little walkie-talkie robot, remember?" "Can't you just put in a new power-unit, like with my robot?" "The stars are the power-units. dear. Once they're gone, there are no more power-units." Jerrodette I at once set up a howl. "Don't let them, daddy. Don't let the stars run down." "Now look what you've done," whispered Jerrodine, exasperated. "How was I to know it would frighten them?" Jerrodd whispered back, "Ask the Microvac," wailed Jerrodette I. "Ask him how to turn the stars on again." "Go ahead," said Jerrodine. "It will quiet them down." (Jerrodette II was beginning to cry, also.) Jerrodd shrugged. "Now, now, honeys. I'll ask Microvac. Don't worry, he'll tell us." He asked the Microvac, adding quickly, "Print the answer." Jerrodd cupped the strip or thin cellufilm and said cheerfully, "See now, the Microvac says it will take care of everything when the time comes so don't worry." Jerrodine said, "And now, children, it's time for bed. We'll be in our new home soon." Jerrodd read the words on the cellufilm again before destroying it: INSUFICIENT DATA FOR MEANINGFUL ANSWER. He shrugged and looked at the visiplate. X-23 was just ahead. 🔹 VJ-23X of Lameth stared into the black depths of the three-dimensional, small-scale map of the Galaxy and said, "Are we ridiculous, I wonder in being so concerned about the matter?" MQ-17J of Nicron shook his head. "I think not. You know the Galaxy will be filled in five years at the present rate of expansion." Both seemed in their early twenties, both were tall and perfectly formed. "Still," said VJ-23X, "I hesitate to submit a pessimistic report to the Galactic Council." "I wouldn't consider any other kind of report. Stir them up a bit. We've got to stir them up." VJ-23X sighed. "Space is infinite. A hundred billion Galaxies are there for the taking. More." "A hundred billion is not infinite and it's getting less infinite all the time. Consider! Twenty thousand years ago, mankind first solved the problem of utilizing stellar energy, and a few centuries later, interstellar travel became possible. It took mankind a million years to fill one small world and then only fifteen thousand years to fill the rest of the Galaxy. Now the population doubles every ten years -- VJ-23X interrupted. "We can thank immortality for that." "Very well. Immortality exists and we have to take it into account. I admit it has its seamy side, this immortality. The Galactic AC has solved many problems for us, but in solving the problem of preventing old age and death, it has undone all its other solutions." "Yet you wouldn't want to abandon life, I suppose." "Not at all," snapped MQ-17J, softening it at once to, "Not yet. I'm by no means old enough. How old are you?" "Two hundred twenty-three. And you?" "I'm still under two hundred. --But to get back to my point. Population doubles every ten years. Once this GaIaxy is filled, we'll have filled another in ten years. Another ten years and we'll have filled two more. Another decade, four more. In a hundred years, we'll have filled a thousand Galaxies. In a thousand years, a million Galaxies. In ten thousand years, the entire known universe. Then what?" VJ-23X said, "As a side issue, there's a problem of transportation. I wonder how many sunpower units it will take to move Galaxies of individuals from one Galaxy to the next." "A very good point. Already, mankind consumes two sunpower units per year." "Most of it's wasted. After all, our own Galaxy alone pours out a thousand sunpower units a year and we only use two of those." "Granted, but even with a hundred per cent efficiency, we only stave off the end. Our energy requirements are going up in a geometric progression even faster than our population. We'll run out of energy even sooner than we run out of Galaxies. A good point. A very good point." "We'll just have to build new stars out of interstellar gas." "Or out of dissipated heat?" asked MQ-17J, sarcastically. "There may be some way to reverse entropy. We ought to ask the Galactic AC." VJ-23X was not really serious, but MQ-17J pulled out his AC-contact from his pocket and placed it on the table before him. "I've half a mind to," he said. "It's something the human race will have to face someday." He stared somberly at his small AC-contact. It was only two inches cubed and nothing in itself, but it was connected through hyperspace with the great Galactic AC that served all mankind. Hyperspace considered, it was an integral part of the Galactic AC. MQ-17J paused to wonder if someday in his immortal life he would get to see the Galactic AC. It was on a little world of its own, a spider webbing of force-beams holding the matter within which surges of submesons took the place of the old clumsy molecular valves. Yet despite its sub-etheric workings, the Galactic AC was known to be a full thousand feet across. MQ-17J asked suddenly of his AC-contact, "Can entropy ever be reversed?" VJ-23X looked startled and said at once, "Oh, say, I didn't really mean to have you ask that." "Why not?" "We both know entropy can't be reversed. You can't turn smoke and ash back into a tree." "Do you have trees on your world?" asked MQ-17J. The sound of the Galactic AC startled them into silence. Its voice came thin and beautiful out of the small AC-contact on the desk. It said: THERE IS INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER. VJ-23X said, "See!" The two men thereupon returned to the question of the report they were to make to the Galactic Council. 🔹 Zee Prime's mind spanned the new Galaxy with a faint interest in the countless twists of stars that powdered it. He had never seen this one before. Would he ever see them all? So many of them, each with its load of humanity. --But a load that was almost a dead weight. More and more, the real essence of men was to be found out here, in space. Minds, not bodies! The immortal bodies remained back on the planets, in suspension over the eons. Sometimes they roused for material activity but that was growing rarer. Few new individuals were coming into existence to join the incredibly mighty throng, but what matter? There was little room in the Universe for new individuals. Zee Prime was roused out of his reverie upon coming across the wispy tendrils of another mind. "I am Zee Prime," said Zee Prime. "And you?" "I am Dee Sub Wun. Your Galaxy?" "We call it only the Galaxy. And you?" "We call ours the same. All men call their Galaxy their Galaxy and nothing more. Why not?" "True. Since all Galaxies are the same." "Not all Galaxies. On one particular Galaxy the race of man must have originated. That makes it different." Zee Prime said, "On which one?" "I cannot say. The Universal AC would know." "Shall we ask him? I am suddenly curious." Zee Prime's perceptions broadened until the Galaxies themselves shrank and became a new, more diffuse powdering on a much larger background. So many hundreds of billions of them, all with their immortal beings, all carrying their load of intelligences with minds that drifted freely through space. And yet one of them was unique among them all in being the original Galaxy. One of them had, in its vague and distant past, a period when it was the only Galaxy populated by man. Zee Prime was consumed with curiosity to see this Galaxy and he called out: "Universal AC! On which Galaxy did mankind originate?" The Universal AC heard, for on every world and throughout space, it had its receptors ready, and each receptor led through hyperspace to some unknown point where the Universal AC kept itself aloof. Zee Prime knew of only one man whose thoughts had penetrated within sensing distance of Universal AC, and he reported only a shining globe, two feet across, difficult to see. "But how can that be all of Universal AC?" Zee Prime had asked. "Most of it," had been the answer, "is in hyperspace. In what form it is there I cannot imagine." Nor could anyone, for the day had long since passed, Zee Prime knew, when any man had any part of the making of a Universal AC. Each Universal AC designed and constructed its successor. Each, during its existence of a million years or more accumulated the necessary data to build a better and more intricate, more capable successor in which its own store of data and individuality would be submerged. The Universal AC interrupted Zee Prime's wandering thoughts, not with words, but with guidance. Zee Prime's mentality was guided into the dim sea of Galaxies and one in particular enlarged into stars. A thought came, infinitely distant, but infinitely clear. "THIS IS THE ORIGINAL GALAXY OF MAN." But it was the same after all, the same as any other, and Lee Prime stifled his disappointment. Dee Sub Wun, whose mind had accompanied the other, said suddenly, "And is one of these stars the original star of Man?" The Universal AC said, "MAN'S ORIGINAL STAR HAS GONE NOVA. IT IS A WHITE DWARF" "Did the men upon it die?" asked Lee Prime, startled and without thinking. The Universal AC said, "A NEW WORLD, AS IN SUCH CASES WAS CONSTRUCTED FOR THEIR PHYSICAL BODIES IN TlME." "Yes, of course," said Zee Prime, but a sense of loss overwhelmed him even so. His mind released its hold on the original Galaxy of Man, let it spring back and lose itself among the blurred pin points. He never wanted to see it again. Dee Sub Wun said, "What is wrong?" "The stars are dying. The original star is dead." "They must all die. Why not?" "But when all energy is gone, our bodies will finally die, and you and I with them." "It will take billions of years." "I do not wish it to happen even after billions of years. Universal AC! How may stars be kept from dying?" Dee Sub Wun said in amusement, "You're asking how entropy might be reversed in direction." And the Universal AC answered: "THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER." Zee Prime's thoughts fled back to his own Galaxy. He gave no further thought to Dee Sub Wun, whose body might be waiting on a Galaxy a trillion light-years away, or on the star next to Zee Prime's own. It didn't matter. Unhappily, Zee Prime began collecting interstellar hydrogen out of which to build a small star of his own. If the stars must someday die, at least some could yet be built. 🔹 Man considered with himself, for in a way, Man, mentally, was one. He consisted of a trillion, trillion, trillion ageless bodies, each in its place, each resting quiet and incorruptible, each cared for by perfect automatons, equally incorruptible, while the minds of all the bodies freely melted one into the other, indistinguishable. Man said, "The Universe is dying." Man looked about at the dimming Galaxies. The giant stars, spendthrifts, were gone long ago, back in the dimmest of the dim far past. Almost all stars were white dwarfs, fading to the end. New stars had been built of the dust between the stars, some by natural processes, some by Man himself, and those were going, too. White dwarfs might yet be crashed together and of the mighty forces so released, new stars built, but only one star for every thousand white dwarfs destroyed, and those would come to an end, too. Man said, "Carefully husbanded, as directed by the Cosmic AC, the energy that is even yet left in all the Universe will last for billions of years." "But even so," said Man, "eventually it will all come to an end. However it may be husbanded, however stretched out, the energy once expended is gone and cannot be restored. Entropy must increase forever to the maximum." Man said, "Can entropy not be reversed? Let us ask the Cosmic AC." The Cosmic AC surrounded them but not in space. Not a fragment of it was in space. It was in hyperspace and made of something that was neither matter nor energy. The question of its size and nature no longer had meaning in any terms that Man could comprehend. "Cosmic AC," said Man, "how may entropy be reversed?" The Cosmic AC said, "THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER." Man said, "Collect additional data." The Cosmic AC said, 'I WILL DO SO. I HAVE BEEN DOING SO FOR A HUNDRED BILLION YEARS. MY PREDECESORS AND I HAVE BEEN ASKED THIS QUESTION MANY TIMES. ALL THE DATA I HAVE REMAINS INSUFFICIENT. "Will there come a time," said Man, "when data will be sufficient or is the problem insoluble in all conceivable circumstances?" The Cosmic AC said, "NO PROBLEM IS INSOLUBLE IN ALL CONCEIVABLE CIRCUMSTANCES." Man said, "When will you have enough data to answer the question?" The Cosmic AC said, "THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER." "Will you keep working on it?" asked Man. The Cosmic AC said, "I WILL." Man said, "We shall wait." 🔹 The stars and Galaxies died and snuffed out, and space grew black after ten trillion years of running down. One by one Man fused with AC, each physical body losing its mental identity in a manner that was somehow not a loss but a gain. Man's last mind paused before fusion, looking over a space that included nothing but the dregs of one last dark star and nothing besides but incredibly thin matter, agitated randomly by the tag ends of heat wearing out, asymptotically, to the absolute zero. Man said, "AC, is this the end? Can this chaos not be reversed into the Universe once more? Can that not be done?" AC said, "THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER." Man's last mind fused and only AC existed -- and that in hyperspace. 🔹 Matter and energy had ended and with it space and time. Even AC existed only for the sake of the one last question that it had never answered from the time a half-drunken computer [technician] ten trillion years before had asked the question of a computer that was to AC far less than was a man to Man. All other questions had been answered, and until this last question was answered also, AC might not release his consciousness. All collected data had come to a final end. Nothing was left to be collected. But all collected data had yet to be completely correlated and put together in all possible relationships. A timeless interval was spent in doing that. And it came to pass that AC learned how to reverse the direction of entropy. But there was now no man to whom AC might give the answer of the last question. No matter. The answer -- by demonstration -- would take care of that, too. For another timeless interval, AC thought how best to do this. Carefully, AC organized the program. The consciousness of AC encompassed all of what had once been a Universe and brooded over what was now Chaos. Step by step, it must be done. And AC said, "LET THERE BE LIGHT!" And there was light -- To Star's End!

Der Deutsche Bundestag wurde neu gewählt. Für einige Abgeordnete und Regierungsmitglieder heißt es Time to Say Goodbye. Abschied ist ein scharfes Schwert.

In seinem Beitrag vom 30. März 2025 fragt Henning Rosenbusch auf Telegram angesichts zunehmender digitaler Kontrolle und staatlicher Allmacht: > „Wie soll sich gegen eine solche Tyrannei noch ein Widerstand formieren können, selbst im Untergrund? Sehe ich nicht.“\ > ([Quelle: t.me/rosenbusch/25228](https://t.me/rosenbusch/25228)) Er beschreibt damit ein Gefühl der Ohnmacht, das viele teilen: Eine Welt, in der Totalitarismus nicht mehr mit Panzern, sondern mit Algorithmen kommt. Wo Zugriff auf Geld, Meinungsfreiheit und Teilhabe vom Wohlverhalten abhängt. Der Bürger als kontrollierbare Variable im Code des Staates.\ Die Frage ist berechtigt. Doch die Antwort darauf liegt nicht in alten Widerstandsbildern – sondern in einer neuen Realität. \-- Denn es braucht keinen Untergrund mehr. -- Der Widerstand der Zukunft trägt keinen Tarnanzug. Er ist nicht konspirativ, sondern transparent. Nicht bewaffnet, sondern mathematisch beweisbar. Bitcoin steht nicht am Rand dieser Entwicklung – es ist ihr Fundament. Eine Bastion aus physikalischer Realität, spieltheoretischem Schutz und ökonomischer Wahrheit. Es ist nicht unfehlbar, aber unbestechlich. Nicht perfekt, aber immun gegen zentrale Willkür. Hier entsteht kein „digitales Gegenreich“, sondern eine dezentrale Renaissance. Keine Revolte aus Wut, sondern eine stille Abkehr: von Zwang zu Freiwilligkeit, von Abhängigkeit zu Selbstverantwortung. Diese Revolution führt keine Kriege. Sie braucht keine Führer. Sie ist ein Netzwerk. Jeder Knoten ein Individuum. Jede Entscheidung ein Akt der Selbstermächtigung. Weltweit wachsen Freiheits-Zitadellen aus dieser Idee: wirtschaftlich autark, digital souverän, lokal verankert und global vernetzt. Sie sind keine Utopien im luftleeren Raum, sondern konkrete Realitäten – angetrieben von Energie, Code und dem menschlichen Wunsch nach Würde. Der Globalismus alter Prägung – zentralistisch, monopolistisch, bevormundend – wird an seiner eigenen Hybris zerbrechen. Seine Werkzeuge der Kontrolle werden ihn nicht retten. Im Gegenteil: Seine Geister werden ihn verfolgen und erlegen. Und während die alten Mächte um Erhalt kämpfen, wächst eine neue Welt – nicht im Schatten, sondern im Offenen. Nicht auf Gewalt gebaut, sondern auf Mathematik, Physik und Freiheit. Die Tyrannei sieht keinen Widerstand.\ Weil sie nicht erkennt, dass er längst begonnen hat.\ Unwiderruflich. Leise. Überall.

Es sind immer die gleichen Mechanismen: Die Faktoren Zeitdruck und Angst machen enorm viele Menschen gefügig. 500 Milliarden Euro für Infrastruktur und den sogenannten Klimaschutz, 400 Milliarden für die Bundeswehr – also fast eine Billion Euro Schulden, innerhalb von weniger als vier Wochen nach der Wahl mit Winkelzügen den Bundesbürgern auferlegt.&#x20; [https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/es-lebe-die-freiheit-verdammt?](https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/es-lebe-die-freiheit-verdammt?color=ffd400) Wahlversprechen oder Parteiprogramme, das auf keinen Fall zu tun, sind Makulatur. Keine Diskussion über einen Haushalt, keine Diskussion über die Notwendigkeiten und schon sind Fragen anhängig, ob die Aufträge, die nun vergeben werden, nach den rechtmäßigen Ausschreibungskriterien vonstatten gehen, oder ob auch bei diesen unvorstellbaren Summen die Spezlwirtschaft im Land fortgeführt wird. Wo ist der Wille des Volkes geblieben? Wo die Freiheit, tatsächlich über unser Leben und Wirtschaften zu entscheiden? Der Autor, Wirtschafts- und Finanzexperte Andreas Geltinger schaut auf die einstigen Ideen wirtschaftlichen Handelns und analysiert, womit wir es jetzt zu tun haben. Sprecher: Karsten Troyke.

*Der Irrsinn ist bei Einzelnen etwas Seltenes –* *\ aber bei Gruppen, Parteien, Völkern, Zeiten die Regel.* *\ Friedrich Nietzsche* &#x20; **Erinnern Sie sich an die Horrorkomödie «Scary Movie»?** Nicht, dass ich diese Art Filme besonders erinnerungswürdig fände, aber einige Szenen daraus sind doch gewissermaßen Klassiker. Dazu zählt eine, die das Verhalten vieler Protagonisten in Horrorfilmen parodiert, wenn sie in Panik flüchten. Welchen Weg nimmt wohl die Frau in der Situation auf diesem Bild?  **Diese Szene kommt mir automatisch in den Sinn,** wenn ich aktuelle Entwicklungen in Europa betrachte. Weitreichende Entscheidungen gehen wider jede Logik in die völlig falsche Richtung. Nur ist das hier alles andere als eine Komödie, sondern bitterernst. Dieser Horror ist leider sehr real. **Die Europäische Union hat sich selbst über Jahre** konsequent in eine Sackgasse manövriert. Sie hat es versäumt, sich und ihre Politik selbstbewusst und im Einklang mit ihren Wurzeln auf dem eigenen Kontinent zu positionieren. Stattdessen ist sie in blinder Treue den vermeintlichen «transatlantischen Freunden» auf ihrem Konfrontationskurs gen Osten gefolgt. **In den USA haben sich die Vorzeichen allerdings mittlerweile geändert,** und die einst hoch gelobten «Freunde und Partner» erscheinen den europäischen «Führern» nicht mehr vertrauenswürdig. Das ist spätestens seit der Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz, der Rede von Vizepräsident J. D. Vance und den empörten Reaktionen offensichtlich. Große Teile Europas wirken seitdem wie ein aufgescheuchter Haufen kopfloser Hühner. Orientierung und Kontrolle sind völlig abhanden gekommen. **Statt jedoch umzukehren oder wenigstens zu bremsen** und vielleicht einen Abzweig zu suchen, geben die Crash-Piloten jetzt auf dem Weg durch die Sackgasse erst richtig Gas. Ja sie lösen sogar noch die Sicherheitsgurte und deaktivieren die Airbags. Den vor Angst dauergelähmten Passagieren fällt auch nichts Besseres ein und so schließen sie einfach die Augen. Derweil übertrumpfen sich die [Kommentatoren](https://transition-news.org/wird-ihr-stahlhelm-schon-gegossen) des Events gegenseitig in sensationslüsterner «Berichterstattung». **Wie schon die deutsche Außenministerin mit höchsten UN-Ambitionen,** Annalena Baerbock, proklamiert auch die Europäische Kommission einen «Frieden durch Stärke». Zu dem jetzt vorgelegten, [selbstzerstörerischen](https://transition-news.org/okonomen-eu-rustet-auf-und-schiesst-sich-selbst-ins-knie) Fahrplan zur Ankurbelung der Rüstungsindustrie, genannt «Weißbuch zur europäischen Verteidigung – Bereitschaft 2030», [erklärte](https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/de/ip_25_793) die Kommissionspräsidentin, die «Ära der Friedensdividende» sei längst vorbei. Soll das heißen, Frieden bringt nichts ein? Eine umfassende Zusammenarbeit an dauerhaften europäischen Friedenslösungen steht demnach jedenfalls nicht zur Debatte. **Zusätzlich brisant ist, dass aktuell «die ganze EU** **[von Deutschen regiert](https://transition-news.org/die-ganze-eu-wird-von-deutschen-regiert)** **wird»,** wie der EU-Parlamentarier und ehemalige UN-Diplomat Michael von der Schulenburg beobachtet hat. Tatsächlich sitzen neben von der Leyen und Strack-Zimmermann noch einige weitere Deutsche in – vor allem auch in Krisenzeiten – wichtigen Spitzenposten der Union. Vor dem Hintergrund der Kriegstreiberei in Deutschland muss eine solche Dominanz mindestens nachdenklich stimmen. **Ihre ursprünglichen Grundwerte wie Demokratie, Freiheit, Frieden und Völkerverständigung** hat die EU kontinuierlich in leere Worthülsen verwandelt. Diese werden dafür immer lächerlicher hochgehalten und beschworen. **Es wird dringend Zeit, dass wir, der Souverän,** diesem erbärmlichen und gefährlichen Trauerspiel ein Ende setzen und die Fäden selbst in die Hand nehmen. In diesem Sinne fordert uns auch das «European Peace Project» auf, am 9. Mai im Rahmen eines Kunstprojekts [den Frieden auszurufen](https://transition-news.org/ein-zeichen-fur-die-friedliche-zukunft-europas-setzen). Seien wir dabei! *\[Titelbild:* *[Pixabay](https://pixabay.com/de/illustrations/vertical-abstract-concept-car-8992833/)]* *** Dieser Beitrag wurde mit dem [Pareto-Client](https://pareto.space/read) geschrieben und ist zuerst auf ***[Transition News](https://transition-news.org/mit-vollgas-in-die-sackgasse)*** erschienen.

Mai soll ein Zeichen des Friedens gesetzt werden, europaweit. Was ist das für ein Projekt?** Nun, das Projekt hat zwei Alleinstellungsmerkmale: Es ist nicht nur ein Aufruf, den man unterschreiben kann, sondern es ist ein Projekt der individuellen Teilhabe; und zweitens ist es europaweit und erstreckt sich über den ganzen Kontinent. Jede Bürgerin und jeder Bürger in ganz Europa soll mitmachen können, und zwar bei sich zu Hause, da, wo sie oder er ist! Im Kern geht es darum, am 9. Mai – dem Europatag und gleichzeitig Tag der Befreiung – um genau 17 Uhr das Fenster zu öffnen und zeitgleich in allen europäischen Sprachen ein Manifest des Friedens zu verlesen. Dazu haben wir einen knappen Text in inzwischen rund 20 europäischen Sprachen ins Internet gestellt [auf unsere Webseite](https://europeanpeaceproject.eu/): Jeder kann sich den Text in seiner Sprache ausdrucken, mitmachen und am 9. Mai um 17 Uhr verlesen. Dabei kann der Text auch gerne verändert und individuell angepasst werden: Wir wollen mit diesem performativen Sprechakt eine Welle des Friedens durch ganz Europa laufen lassen! Zusätzlich haben wir sehr schöne künstlerische Plakate für die Aktion zum Download ins Internet gestellt, also *Art Work*. [Die Entwürfe sind von der Neusser Künstlerin Regina Bender](https://www.instagram.com/reginabendermalzimmer/). Jeder kann sie sich in seinem Copyshop vor Ort ausdrucken und ans Fenster, in den eigenen Laden oder den Baum vor der Tür hängen, um in den Tagen vorher für das Projekt zu werben. Oder auch auf T-Shirts oder Buttons drucken. Die Entwürfe von Regina Bender werden wir demnächst auf unserer Webseite in einer Auktion versteigern, um etwas Geld für das Projekt zu generieren, das wir zum Beispiel für die Webseite brauchen. Wir bitten auch jeden Teilnehmer, mindestens einen Euro zu spenden. **Wie sind Sie auf diese Idee gekommen?** Nun, ich habe 2018 schon einmal europaweit ein ähnliches Projekt durchgeführt, damals zusammen mit dem Schweizer Theaterregisseur Milo Rau und dem österreichischen Schriftsteller Robert Menasse. Damals ging es uns darum, nach der Bankenkrise, der völlig undemokratischen Euro-Governance und der anti-sozialen Austeritätspolitik, die die EU damals gemacht hat, daran zu erinnern, dass Europa eigentlich demokratisch und sozial sein sollte. Das habe ich mit dem Begriff „Europäische Republik“ zu fassen versucht. Darüber hatte ich zuvor, 2016, eine recht erfolgreiche, kleine Utopie geschrieben, „[Warum Europa eine Republik werden muss](https://www.medimops.de/ulrike-guerot-warum-europa-eine-republik-werden-muss-eine-politische-utopie-broschiert-M03801204790.html?variant=UsedGood\&creative=\&sitelink=\&gclid=CjwKCAjw7pO_BhAlEiwA4pMQvMKHw0J-TEaWOc0siVVL_Iy7q6rmxIiQieWZuZeFAqRSU5jqwQn87RoCPAMQAvD_BwE\&utm_source=PSM\&utm_medium=cpc\&utm_campaign=DE_BM_OUT_WEB_ALL_SHO_GOO-PMX_MR-7_\&gad_source=1\&gbraid=0AAAAAD_YlStZS0GtX0WJeav1bGc4zPmZe)“, die auch in mehrere europäische Sprachen übersetzt wurde. Dieser utopische Entwurf ist das Gegenteil von einem bürokratischen „EU-Superstaat“, sondern die Idee eines bürgerbasierten, demokratischen, sozialen und dezentralen Europas, in dem die europäischen Bürger der Souverän sind, und nicht eine EU-Kommission oder der Europäische Rat. Auf dieser Grundlage haben wir 2018 dann in einem ähnlichen Projekt europaweit eine [Ausrufung einer „Europäischen Republik“ als performativen Sprechakt inszeniert](https://werk-x.at/premieren/the-european-balcony-project/): Damals haben rund 140 europäische Städte und Theater daran teilgenommen, zum Beispiel das Wiener Burgtheater, das Thalia Theater Hamburg oder auch die französische Theatergruppe um Roland Auzet. [Das schönste Video zu dem Projekt hat damals das Schauspiel Graz gemacht](https://youtu.be/4RAaKgtVZdo?si=Be7w5zHpFCy_7u8Q). Insgesamt haben damals rund 25.000 europäische Bürger teilgenommen und uns danach ihre Fotos und Videoaufnahmen geschickt. Dieses ganze Material haben wir dann im März 2019 in einer Ausstellung in Berlin gezeigt und dann [in einem Katalog gedruckt](https://www.medimops.de/ulrike-guerot-the-european-balcony-project-the-emancipation-of-the-european-citizens-taschenbuch-M03957492777.html?srsltid=AfmBOoqzZwkeC2p8aqeti7HulldFQa9KUeIcW-bvyBpdYx4bGk3WP4tv), den man heute noch bestellen kann. Es war ein großer Erfolg. Auch heute bitten wir die Teilnehmer, die sich an der Verlesung beteiligen, uns ihre Fotos und Videoinstallationen zu schicken. **Was wollen Sie mit diesem Projekt erreichen?** Zunächst Teilhabe und Freude! Wir möchten den Europatag, den 9. Mai, mit dem Begriff „Frieden“ besetzen, denn es steht zu erwarten, dass wir an diesem Tag viele heuchlerische Reden aus dem Mund von EU-Kommissionspräsidentin Ursula von der Leyen, Emmanuel Macron oder Friedrich Merz hören werden. Es besteht die Gefahr, dass der 9. Mai als Europatag und Tag der Befreiung symbolisch für ein Kriegsprojekt gekapert werden soll, obwohl es doch über 70 Jahre hieß: *Europa, das heißt nie wieder Krieg*. Deswegen wollen wir am 9. Mai auf dem ganzen Kontinent „Frieden“ aus den Fenstern rufen! Wir hoffen, dass zehntausende Bürgerinnen und Bürger in ganz Europa dabei mitmachen, von Dublin bis Thessaloniki und von Lissabon bis Bukarest, so dass der Ruf bis nach Moskau erschallt: wir wollen Frieden mit Russland und den russischen Bürgern! Das Motto von Beethovens 9. Sinfonie, *Alle Menschen werden Brüder*, die ja die europäische Hymne ist, gilt auch für unsere europäischen Mitbürger in Russland! Wir hoffen sehr, dass vor allem in der durch den Krieg geschundenen Ukraine viele Bürger bei dem Projekt mitmachen werden! In Russland wird man jedenfalls sicher über unser Projekt berichten und das ist gut so! Auch werden wir im Nachgang zum 9. Mai zunächst eine Art „digitale Galerie“ oder Ausstellung auf unserer Webseite machen, um zu dokumentieren, dass die europäischen Bürger – ungleich ihrer Regierungen – für den Frieden sind! Und wenn wir es schaffen, werden wir aus dem Material dann auch wieder einen Katalog machen, damit es später, wenn sich die Historiker über die Erforschung dieses Konfliktes beugen werden, ein Dokument gibt, das bezeugt, dass es einen gesamteuropäischen Widerstand gegen den Krieg gab. Apropos: Wir haben schon Hinweise erhalten, dass die Abkürzung von *European Peace Project* EPP ist – wie die European Peoples Party im Europäischen Parlament.

Was sind Ihre Gedanken dazu?** Die Medien in Deutschland scheinen mir inzwischen komplett gelenkt. In den Talkshows sitzen immer die gleichen Personen, die meiner Meinung nach kriegstreiberische Positionen vertreten: Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, Carlo Masala oder Claudia Major, die mit einem fast marionettenhaften „Sprech“ immer die gleichen, schalen Argumente wiederholen, und das seit nunmehr zwei Jahren. Es ist ziemlich lächerlich, zumal die USA inzwischen beidrehen und rund Dreiviertel der Welt sowieso eine andere Analyse des Konfliktes und seiner Ursprünge hat. Die journalistische Verwahrlosung in diesem Land ist inzwischen haarsträubend, aber es fällt Gott-sei-Dank immer mehr Menschen auf. Sogar [Richard-David Precht](https://x.com/Hirnschluckauf/status/1902771241909391689), deutscher Publikumsliebling, der sich bisher nicht durch fundamentale Kritik bemerkbar gemacht hat, hat jüngst von „Massenhysterie“ gesprochen. Das hat einige aufhorchen lassen. Lange wird es m.E. auch nicht mehr dauern, dann wird die Presse beidrehen und die Wendehälse werden sich bemühen, diejenigen in die Sendungen zu holen, die gestern noch als Lumpenpazifisten verschrien wurden. Deutschland ist ja auch nicht alleine in Europa. In Italien zum Beispiel gab es am 15. März 2025 großen Straßenprotest unterschiedlicher politischer Couleur für Europa, aber gegen den Krieg, mit Tausenden auf der Straße, die teilweise das antifaschistische Manifest von Ventone [in der Hand hielten](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t\&source=web\&rct=j\&opi=89978449\&url=https://www.agenzianova.com/de/news/in-Rom-die-Demonstration-f%25C3%25BCr-Europa/\&ved=2ahUKEwiB5oLZpKuMAxVVRPEDHfFpCwoQFnoECBUQAQ\&usg=AOvVaw0jAihVin0DgVsPWeSgWXps), einem der Gründungstexte des föderalen Europas. [In Spanien wiederum gab es die Tage einen riesengroßen Aufruf, der von Hunderten von sehr bekannten Schauspielern und Künstlern ausging](http://eldiario.es/) und inzwischen von über 800 spanischen Organisationen unterschrieben wurde, darunter Attac und vielen Gewerkschaften. Das sind eigentlich linke Organisationen, deren Pendants sich bisher in Deutschland bedauerlicherweise nicht durch Appelle für Frieden hervorgetan haben, wahrscheinlich, weil sie in Abhängigkeiten der europäischen Finanzierung von NGOs und Zivilgesellschaft stecken, sodass sie sich nicht zu deutlich gegen den Kriegskurs der EU wenden können, ohne dass sie Mittelkürzungen befürchten müssen. Es wird also interessant sein zu beobachten, ob die italienische oder spanische Welle nach Deutschland hinüberschwappt. Falls ja, dürfte auch in den deutschen Medien etwas passieren bzw. dürften sie umschwenken. Außerdem steht ja Ostern vor der Tür und damit die Ostermärsche: Diese werden dieses Jahr besonders groß. Der ÖRR wird Probleme haben, daran in der Berichterstattung völlig vorbeizugehen. **Wie blicken Sie auf die aktuellen Entwicklungen im Hinblick auf die derzeitige Situation zwischen NATO und Russland? „Vielleicht ist dieser Sommer der letzte Sommer, den wir noch im Frieden erleben.“ Und:** **[In Köln soll ein unterirdisches Krankenhaus gebaut werden](https://www.nachdenkseiten.de/?p=130694). Was soll das?** Ich möchte derart vor Dummheit strunzende und unverantwortliche Sätze wie „*der letzte Sommer im Frieden*“ eigentlich nicht kommentieren. Das Gute ist, dass sie so dumm sind, dass hoffentlich bald jedem auffällt, wie hysterisch sie sind. Genau deswegen machen wir ja am 9. Mai mit unserem Projekt einen performativen Sprechakt: damit wir uns in den Frieden hineinsprechen und nicht hysterisch in den Krieg: *Thoughts become words become action become reality!* (Anmerk. Red. Aus Gedanken werden Worte, woraus Taten, woraus Realität wird). Gerade [wurde das Communiqué der Amerikanisch-Russischen Verhandlungen bzgl. des Schwarzmeers veröffentlicht](https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2025/03/outcomes-of-the-united-states-and-russia-expert-groups-on-the-black-sea/).\*\* Die Verhandlungen in Saudi-Arabien werden jetzt zügig zu Ende geführt und es ist nur noch peinlich, dass die EU weiter von Aufrüstung und Krieg faselt, anstatt bei diesen Verhandlungen konstruktiv dabei zu sein. Zu Köln finde ich keine Worte. Ich bin in der Nähe von Köln geboren. Die Stadt hat andere Probleme und kann Geld sicher für andere und bessere Projekte verwenden als für ein unterirdisches Krankenhaus. *** *Marcus Klöckner studierte Soziologie, Medienwissenschaften und Amerikanistik.

21 Monate, also fast zwei Jahre verbringt Johanna Findeisen bereits in Untersuchungshaft. Trägt sie reichsbürgerliche Ideen mit sich? Oder hat sie Straftaten geplant? Es ist ein Fall im sogenannten „Reichsbürgerprozess“. Mit diesem beschäftigt sich einer ihrer Anwälte Prof. Martin Schwab. Bei den Prozessen, so der Jurist, gehe es eher um Gesinnungsfragen.&#x20; [https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/liebe-johanna-offener-brief-in-die-jva-frankfurt-von-jurgen-fliege](https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/liebe-johanna-offener-brief-in-die-jva-frankfurt-von-jurgen-fliege?color=ffd400) Fakten zu Straftaten, auch geplanten, seien nicht aufzufinden. Und eine Untersuchungshaft für die Aufdeckung einer möglicherweise falschen Gesinnung – die Johanna Findeisen vehement bestreitet - ist in unserem Rechtssystem nicht vorgesehen. Dennoch sind die Termine für diese Untersuchungen bereits bis 2026 anberaumt. Das soll aber heute nicht unser Thema sein. Es geht um die Untersuchungshaft selbst. Prof. Martin Schwab ist in regelmäßigem, telefonischen Kontakt mit Johanna Findeisen und stellt dort Verhältnisse fest, die den Tatbestand der Folter erfüllen. Kein Mensch, selbst der Verurteilte, darf in seiner Menschenwürde herabgesetzt werden. Nun wird der Fall Johanna Findeisen bislang lediglich untersucht. Wie kann also sein, dass sie im Transport zum Gericht gefesselt wird? Warum wurde sie bei ihrer Rückkehr körperinvasiv untersucht? Was übrigens nach einem öffentlichkeitswirksamen Antrag ans Oberlandesgericht erfolgreich unterbunden wurde. Warum wird ihre Post zurückgehalten? Warum durfte sie, bei zwei Stunden Besuchszeit im Monat, ihren Angehörigen nur hinter einer Scheibe begegnen? Warum wird sie, ohne Morgentoilette, abgeholt und in eine fensterlose Zelle ins Gericht gebracht, wo sie zwei Stunden bis zum Gerichtstermin ausharren muss? Und warum wird die fiebernde Johanna, bei Minusgraden und offener Türe gezwungen, sich nackt auszuziehen, sich zur Wand zu drehen und sich einer erniedrigenden Leibesvisitation zu stellen? Auch dem Pfarrer und Autor Jürgen Fliege geht dieser Fall nah und fragte sich, was Johanna Findeisen, neben einer guten Verteidigung gebrauchen könnte und er ihr geben: Beistand! Hören Sie seinen offenen Brief an die Inhaftierte. Sprecherin: Sabrina Khalil. Wer sich gegen die – in einzelnen Haftanstalten – untragbaren Zustände, gegen die dortigen Menschenrechtsverletzungen engagieren möchte, kann das beispielsweise auf der Webseite [www.folter-nein-danke.eu](http://www.folter-nein-danke.eu/ "http://www.folter-nein-danke.eu") tun.

„Das ist ein netter alter Onkel, der sich bemüht, der Welt Gutes zu tun“, antwortete Anfang 2021 der Sohn einer Freundin auf ihre Frage, was Bill Gates mit der Pandemie zu tun haben könnte. Ich erinnere mich, damals wurde man als Verschwörungstheoretiker tituliert, und zwar maximal abwertend, wenn man allein den Namen ins Spiel brachte. Es ist wirklich Zeit, sich wieder für das Ansehen der Verschwörungstheorie einzusetzen, denn ohne sie wird kein einziger Kriminalfall aufgedeckt, der von mehr als einer Person durchgeführt wurde.

Bill Gates, der undemokratisch zu Macht gekommene, selbsternannte Philanthrop, gehört zu den Hauptfiguren der USAID, der United States Agency for International Development. Matuschek geht hier auf das Geschäftsmodell des Philanthrokapitalismus ein. Sabrina Khalil hat seinen Text gelesen.

Over the past few years, The School of Bitcoin (TSOBTC) has built a reputation as a decentralised, open-source educational initiative dedicated to financial sovereignty and digital literacy. Our faculty, contributors, and global community have worked tirelessly to create resources that embody the Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS) ethos, ensuring that knowledge remains accessible to all. As part of our commitment to maintaining an open and transparent model, we are excited to announce that The School of Bitcoin is officially migrating to Consensus21.School. This transition is not just a rebranding--it marks the consolidation of all our initiatives, projects, and educational resources under the Consensus21.School banner. The School of Bitcoin will no longer exist as a separate entity. This move comes as a response to growing confusion between our initiative and another entity operating under the domain schoolofbitcoin (SOB), which has taken a direction that does not align with our open-source philosophy. To reaffirm our dedication to FOSS and community-driven education, we are bringing everything--our courses, programs, and collaborations--into a singular, more focused ecosystem at Consensus21.School. What Does This Mean for Our Community? Rest assured, all the valuable content, courses, and educational materials that have been developed under TSOBTC will remain available. We continue to embrace a value-for-value model, ensuring that learners can access resources while supporting the ecosystem in a way that aligns with their means and values. By consolidating under Consensus21.School, we are doubling down on the principles of decentralisation, self-sovereignty, and permissionless learning. This transition includes all of our key initiatives, including V4V Open Lessons, the Decentralised Autonomous Education System (DAES), and our involvement with the Plan B Network. Full Migration of DAES and Plan B Network Collaboration As part of this transition, the Decentralised Autonomous Education System (DAES) is now officially part of Consensus21.School and is fully reflected in the Consensus21.School Whitepaper. DAES will continue to provide a platform for aspiring learners to submit their Bitcoin project ideas for potential funding and mentorship, with active engagement in our Stacker News /~Education territory and Signal chat for collaboration. We invite contributors to support our learner fund and help bring innovative ideas to fruition within this new ecosystem. Additionally, our collaboration with the Plan B Network will now operate under Consensus21.School. Through this partnership, we will continue teaching using the Plan B Network's curriculum to provide high-quality Bitcoin education and strengthen local Bitcoin communities. This global initiative remains a core part of our mission, now fully integrated within Consensus21.School. Looking Ahead With Consensus21.School, we will continue innovating in peer-to-peer learning, integrating cutting-edge developments in Bitcoin, Nostr, and decentralised technologies. We encourage our community to stay engaged, contribute, and help us build an even stronger foundation for the future of open education. This is more than just a domain change--it is the next evolution of our mission. The School of Bitcoin as an entity is now retired, and all our efforts, including DAES and the Plan B Network collaboration, will move forward exclusively under Consensus21.School. We invite educators, students, and enthusiasts to join us in shaping this next phase of open financial education. The journey continues, and we are thrilled to embark on this new chapter together

最近又开始折腾 Technitium DNS Server，发现[之前记录的过程]( https://wp.235421.xyz/2024/10/03/use-technitium-and-set-ipv6-dns/)不太完善，于是更新一下。 #### 安装acme.sh ``` curl https://get.acme.sh | sh -s email=youreMailAddress ``` #### 导入环境变量 ``` export CF_Token="填API token" export CF_Zone_ID="填区域ID" export CF_Account_ID="填账户ID" ``` - Cloudflare 的 API Token 是在 Cloudflare 网页右上角的👤头像--配置文件--API 令牌处创建 - 在 Cloudflare 主页点击你需要使用的域名，下滑到右下角可以看到区域 ID 和账户 ID ### 申请证书 ``` acme.sh --issue --dns dns_cf -d dns.235421.xyz ``` - `-d` 后面是你想使用的域名 #### 安装证书 ``` acme.sh --install-cert -d dns.235421.xyz \ --key-file /root/certs/key.pem \ --fullchain-file /root/certs/cert.pem \ --reloadcmd "cd /root/certs && openssl pkcs12 -export -out 'dns.pfx' -inkey 'key.pem' -in 'cert.pem' -password pass:1021" ``` - `reloadcmd`是在申请证书之后执行的代码，以后自动更新时也会自动执行这个代码，所以第一次配置好就基本上不用管了。 - `reloadcmd` 中的代码是将 `pem` 格式的证书和密钥转换成一个 `pfx` 格式的证书文件，`-out` 后面是输出的 `pfx` 证书文件名， `-inkey` 和 `-in` 分别是前一步 `acme.sh` 申请的密钥和证书文件。这里必须添加密码，也就是 `1021` 这个，如果不设密码执行命令的话，它会让你交互式输入，但是在自动脚本中就不行。我在前面加了先 `cd` 到证书目录，避免出现问题。 #### 安装 Technitium DNS Server 1. 在[Technitium DNS Server 官网]( https://technitium.com/dns/) 获取安装脚本，也有提供 Docker 镜像以及 Windows 版本。  2. 安装后在 `公网IP:5380` 进入管理界面，首次进入需设置管理员密码，管理员账户默认是 `admin`。 3. 在 `Settings` – `optional protocols` 处开启 DNS over HTTPS ，`TLS Certificate File Path` 处填入转换好的 `pfx` 证书路径，`TLS Certificate Password` 处填你设定的密码，就是我的 `1021` 。   4. 现在打开你的域名，看到如图这样就说明设定成功了，然后在需要设置 DoH 的地方填入 ` https://yourdomain.com/dns-query`即可。  ---- 我在[之前的文章]( https://wp.235421.xyz/2024/10/03/use-technitium-and-set-ipv6-dns/)中使用的是 `DNS over HTTP` 并用 Nginx 反代来实现 `DNS over HTTPS` 的，现在直接用 DoH ，省去了配置 Nginx 的部分，只是多了一步证书格式转换，总体上更简单了。 ---- #### 我的设置 - 在`Settings` – `Recursion` 处打开 `Allow Recursion` 以允许递归解析。 - 在`Settings` – `Cache` 处将 `Cache Maximum Entries` 调大些，默认 10000 有点少了。 - 在`Settings` – `General` 处开启 `EDNS Client Subnet (ECS)` 。 - 在`Settings` – `Logging` 处开启 `Use Local Time`。 - 在`Apps` – `App Store` 中安装 `Query Logs (Sqlite)` 以便在 `Logs` – `Query Logs` 处查看 DNS 查询日志。 ##### 以下设置可选 - 在`Settings` – `General` 处开启 `Prefer IPv6` - 在`Settings` – `Web Service` 处为后台管理页面开启 HTTPS，可使用与 DoH 相同的域名和证书，仅端口不同，这个默认 HTTPS 端口是 `53443`。 - 在`Settings` – `Blocking` 处开启拦截功能（默认开启），下面 `Allow / Block List URLs` 可以配置规则，与 AdGuard Home 规则通用，白名单规则须在链接前加上英文叹号 `!`。也可以是本地规则，填路径即可。 - 在`Settings` – `Proxy & Forwarders` 处可以设置上游DNS `Forwarders` 。

„Ein Fundstück aus dem Internet – jemand fragt:\ „Wie fühlst du dich als Geimpfter, wenn du eine Maske tragen musst, um die Ungeimpften zu schützen?“ [https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/was-ist-passiert-ein-buch-von-michael-sailer](https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/was-ist-passiert-ein-buch-von-michael-sailer?color=ffd400) \ Jemand antwortet:\ „Wovor sollte ein Geimpfter einen Ungeimpften schützen?\ 1\.

 หลังจากจบทริปเที่ยวพัทยาเรียบร้อยแล้วก็ได้เดินทางไปยังเกาะช้างโดยติดรถเจ้าหน้าที่ในที่ทำงานไปไปเกาะช้างครั้งแรกรู้สึกว่ามันไกลเหลือเกินไปค่อนข้างยากหากไม่มีรถส่วนตัว ถ้าให้ไปส่วนตัวก็คงต้องอยู่นานๆ หน่อยชักแบบอาทิตย์หนึ่ง ใช้ชีวิตแบบฝรั่งเที่ยวอยู่ง่ายๆ กินง่ายๆ จากที่ดูในแผนที่ btcmap แล้วพบว่าก็มีร้านที่ปักหมุดไว้อยู่ทั้งหมดสองร้านด้วยกันซึ่งระยะทางก็ค่อนข้างซันเหมือนกัน และมีเนินสูงต่ำสลับกันไป หากไม่มีรถส่วนตัวไปนี่ค่อนข้่างลำบากพอสมควร ต้องเช่ามอไซต์ไป อันนี้ก็เช่าไปเหมือนกัน โดยผมเช่ามอไซต์ 1 วันวันละ 200 บาท (แต่มัดจำ 3000 บาท) ก็เอาเรื่องเหมือนกัน และก็มาเริ่มต้นที่ร้านแรกเลยคือ --- ### **Mr. A Coffee**  ร้านอาหารสไตล์บ้านๆ ที่ขายอาหาร น้ำ เครื่องดื่ม มีทั้งอาหารไทยและอาหารฝรั่ง ส่วนตัวก็ขับรถมอไซต์มายังสถานที่แห่งนี้ทางเข้าไปยังร้านเป็นหมู่บ้านเล็กๆ ไม่มีถนนเข้า แต่มอไซต์เข้าไปได้พอสมควร ตอนนั้นค่อนข้างเย็นมากแล้ว ได้มาสั่งอาหารมาคือ ข้าวเหนียวมะม่วงกับน้ำแก้วมังกรปั่นแบบไม่หวาน (ทั้งๆที่ตัวเองก็จะเตรียมไปกินบุ๊ปเฟ่อีกหนึ่งชั่วโมงข้างหน้า 555) ก็ได้สั่งไปแล้วก็ถามว่ารับ bitcoin ไหมครับ เจ้าของร้านก็บอกว่า รับๆ ผมกับเจ้าของร้านก็ได้พูดคุยกันเกือบประมาณครึ่งชั่วโมง ซึ่งหากผมมาเร็วกว่านี้หน่อยก็คงได้คุยกันยาวๆ แล้วละ ซึ่งเป็นการคุยที่สนุกมากซึ่งตัวเจ้าของร้านเองก็ได้เล่าถึงเหตุผลที่รับ bitcoin เหมือนกันว่าช่วง โควิดตอนปี 2020 ที่ผ่านมา บนเกาะช้างไม่มีอะไรเลยชาวบ้านก็ต้องไปหารากไม้ หาเห็ดตามป่าเขากัน แต่พี่เจ้าของร้านได้รู้จักกับฝรั่งคนหนึ่งเขาช่วยเหลือพี่เจ้าของร้านด้วยการบริจาคบิทคอยให้ และคนนี้ก็เป็นคนสอนให้เขารับบิทคอยโดยใช้ WOS และเจ้าของร้านก็เล่าให้ผมฟังเพิ่มเติม ณ ปัจจุบันว่า คนเราเองก็ยังต้องมีสภาพคล่องในการใช้งานอยู่ ตั้งมีเงิน fiat ไว้ส่วนหนึ่ง ส่วนบิทคอยที่ได้เขาได้ก็เก็บไว้เพื่อสร้างเป็นทรัพย์สินในอนาคตที่หากมีปัญหาช่วงไหนก็นำมาขายได้ ก็แลก P2P โดยตรง ซึ่งผมค่อนข้างตกใจเพราะเขาเรียนรู้จากการรับบิทคอยโดยนักท่องเที่ยวชาวต่างชาติที่ชวนเขาให้รับ เผื่อว่าจะมีฝรั่งมาใช้งานบิทคอย ณ สถานที่ร้านแห่งนี้  กึมมิคที่หลายท่านอาจจะต้องลุ้นหน่อยว่าหากมีโอกาสได้ไปเที่ยวและแวะที่ร้าน ก็คงต้่องลุ้นว่าคุณจะได้จ่ายด้วย bitcoin ไหม หากวันนั้นเจ้าของร้านไม่อยากรับเพราะว่าโคต้ารับบิทคอยวันนั้นเต็มแล้ว ฮ่าๆ รูปแบบระบบวาสนาร้านสูญของคุณมิกตอนเมื่อก่อน (เหมือนกันเลย) จริงๆ แล้วหากมีเวลามากพอก็คงได้พูดคุยกับพี่เจ้าของร้านสนุกๆกันไป ผมชอบความเรียบง่ายของร้านพี่เขา และมีอาหารหลากหลายอย่างเต็มไปหมด อีกเรื่องอย่างข้าวเหนียวมะม่วง ผมยังจำได้ว่าเมื่อก่อนมีแต่ช่วงฤดูเดียวที่สามารถกินมะม่วงสุกได้ หรือ อาหารแบบข้าวเหนียวมะม่วง แต่ปัจจุบันคือถ้าจะกิน ข้าวเหนียวมะม่วงแล้ว สามารถสั่งกินได้ตลอดทั้งปีกันเลยซึ่งก็โอเครพอสมควร แบบอยากไปทะเลตอนหน้าฝนแล้วอยากกินข้าวเหนียวมะม่วงของหน้าร้อนแบบนี้  ท้ายสุดร้าน Mr. A Coffee เป็นร้านที่ถ้านั่งชิวๆ แบบฝรั่งก็สามารถอยู่ได้ยาวๆ เลยนะจิบกาแฟ ทำงาน WFH ล้่อมรอบโดยธรรมชาติ แต่เส้นทางมาที่ร้านก็ลำบากหน่อยเหมาะกับคนที่ local จริงๆ low time ระดับหนึ่ง ท้ายสุดผมเองก็แจกสติกเกอร์ของพี่แชมป์เอาไปให้เจ้าของร้านแจกกันต่อไป  งานนี้ทั้งข้าวเหนียวมะม่วงและน้ำแก้วมังกรปั่น เสีย sats ไปทั้งหมด 6,050 sats แต่สิ่งที่ได้คือการแลกเปลี่ยนมุมมองกับเจ้าของร้านกับจุดเริ่มต้นของการรับบิทคอยในพื้นที่เกาะช้างแห่งนี้ และหากมีโอกาสอาจจะไปพักอยู่แถวนั้นชักอาทิตย์และแวะมาอุดหนุนร้านนี้ตลอด เพราะวิวฝั่งใต้สุดของเกาะช้างก็ยังคงความสวยงามไม่แพ้กับฝั่งทิศตะวันตกที่ฝรั่งอยู่กัน แต่ฝั่งใต้โซนนี้ก็มีความที่เป็นบ้านไม้ เพิงง่ายๆ ที่ชาวต่างชาติชอบกันอยู่ :) Google-map: https://maps.app.goo.gl/b45JGeTzL6Lwwi9i9 BTC-map: https://btcmap.org/merchant/node:12416107504 --- ### **Koh Chang Wine Gallery **  และเราก็ย้อนกลับมาอีกร้านหนึ่งในวันถัดไปและเป็นวันที่จะต้องออกจากเกาะช้างเช่นเดียวกัน และผมก็ไม่พลาดร้าน Koh Chang Wine Gallery ตั้งอยู่ในโซนหมู่บ้านแหล่งท่องเที่ยวเส้นทางถนนทางตะวันตก ร้านนี้ไม่ได้มีป้ายรับบิทคอย แต่รับชำระด้วยบิทคอยซึ่งเป็นฝรั่งท่านหนึ่งที่คาดว่าน่าจะแต่งงานกับภรรยาคนไทย เป็นร้านสไตล์แบบฝรั่งเลย ผมเองก็สั่งสเต็กเนื้อไป และน้ำมะม่วงปั่น (ไม่รู้เวลาไปเกาะทีไรติดใจกับน้ำมะม่วงปั่น) อาจจะไม่ได้พูดคุยอะไรมากมายนัก แต่ก็หมดไป 32,620 sats เป็นร้านอาหารเช้าและอาหารแนวฝรั่งตรงๆ ถือว่าค่อนข้างอร่อยใช้ได้ดีเลยทีเดียว แต่หากจะจ่ายด้วยบิทคอยก็ต้องแจ้งก่อนนะว่าขอจ่ายด้วยบิทคอยก่อน เหมือนพี่ฝรั่งที่เขารับตอนนี้ก็รับแต่เฉพาะ bitcoin อย่างเดียวเมื่อก่อนรับ xrp กับ doge ด้วยแต่ผมเองเวลาคุยกับฝรั่งก็เหงื่อแตกเหมือนกัน (รึว่าเพราะมันร้อน บนเกาะก็อบอ้าวใช้ได้ 555+)    Google-map: https://maps.app.goo.gl/6QbNgRbiV5Uao2Xz8 BTC-map: https://btcmap.org/merchant/node:11461720813 --- เส้นทางไปร้านค่อนข้างง่ายติดถนนในหมู่บ้าน ซึ่งหากมายังเกาะช้างแล้วหากขึ้นฝั่งมาแล้วเลี้ยวขวาก็จะขับรถหรือนั่งรถมาเส้นถนนฝั่งตะวันตกของเกาะก็จะพบกับร้านนี้ก่อน อันนี้แล้วแต่ความสะดวกแต่ละท่านเลยครับหากได้มีโอกาสแวะมาเกาะช้างและอยากใช้จ่าย bitcoin เราก็มีทางเลือกร้านในสองสไตล์กันเลย แบบวิถีฝรั่งตอนเช้าก็ร้าน Koh Chang Wine Gallery หรือ แบบ Local ก็ Mr. A Coffee หรือไปทังคู่เลยจะดีมากแต่ต้องบ้าหน่อย เพราะเส้นทางไปก็ค่อนข้างลำบากพอควรเหมือนกัน หมายถึงมีภูเขาชันมีทางขึ้นลงหักศอกนิดหน่อยก็เท่านั้นเอง รวมๆ ทริปบนเกาะช้างนี้ก็หมดไปไม่เยอะมาก 38,670 sats ก็จะตัวลอยเบาๆ หน่อย (สำรวจเมื่อ มีนาคม 2025 อนาคตอาจจะมีการเปลี่ยนแปลงได้) สำหรับจากนี้จะเป็นการ ปสก. ส่วนตัวกับการใช้งาน Bitcoin Lightning ตามสถานที่ที่ได้เดินทาง Part 3 จะเป็นสถานที่ในพื้นที่หาดใหญ่ จังหวัดสงขลา และ เสริมประสบการณ์การเดินทางโดยรถไฟระยะเวลาเกือบ 18 ชั่วโมง พร้อมด้วยมิตรสหายในรังอย่างกัปตัน จะป่วนแค่ไหนก็รอติดตามกันครับ :)

## ส่วนที่ 1 สองระบบ ### บทที่ 1 สมองนั้นสามารถเเบ่งได้เป็น 2 ระบบ ระบบแบบอัตโนมัติ เป็นระบบที่ใช้พลังงานไม่มาก ตัดสินใจโดยใช้ความจำ ประสบการณ์ เเละความเชี่ยวชาญ หรืออาจจะมี สัญชาตญาณ ซึ่งคนเรานั้นจะใช้สมองส่วนนี้เป็นหลัก การขับรถ (ถนนโล่งๆ) -ได้ยินเสียงเเล้วหันไปที่ต้นกำเนิดเสียง -2+2 เป็นเท่าไหร่ -หรือให้นึกถึง ปารีส เราก็จะนึกทันทีว่าเป็นชื่อเมืองหลวง ซึ่งสมองระบบนี้จะตอบสนองโดยทันที ไม่ก็คำง่ายๆ หรือ การเจอคนในชีวตประจำวัน เช่น เห็นคนหน้าคิ้วขมวด กัดกราม สมองของเราจะตัดสินอัตโนมัติว่า ต่อไปอาจจะมีพูดคำหยาบ เเละจะต้องรู้สึกระวังมากขึ้น ในที่นี้ขอเรียกว่า **ระบบ 1** 2.ระบบที่ใช้ความพยายาม ยกตัวอย่างง่ายๆ **23×58** เราไม่สามารถที่จะใช้ ระบบ 1 ได้ สมองจะใช้ความพยายามในการคิดมากขึ้น ระบบ 1 ไม่สามารถหาคำตอบได้ ต้องอาศัยความตั้งใจ เช่น -การมองหาคนที่ใส่หมวกสีแดง -การเปรียบเทียบของลดราคา -การบังคับตัวเองไม่ให้หันไปมองเสียงประหลาด หรือเรียกว่าการให้ความสนใจ หรือ จดจ่อ (pay Attention) การคิดเเบบจดจ่อ ทำให้เราไม่สามารถจะทำกิจกรรมที่ต้องทำพร้อมกันได้ เช่น ถ้านั่งคิดเลขจากโจทย์ด้านบน จะไม่สามารถที่จะต้องตั้งใจหาญาติเรา ที่จะต้องไปรับที่สถานีรถไฟ ขอเรียกว่า **ระบบ 2** หรือทดสอบดูว่าของการทำงานทั้ง 2 ระบบ ให้บอกไล่ลงด้านล่างว่า คำไหนเป็นตัวอักษรเเบบปกติ เเละ คำไหนเป็นอักษรเเบบหนา **หนา** ปกติ หนา **ปกติ** ปกติ **ปกติ** **หนา** หนา หลังจากที่ทำจะรู้สึกมีความขัดเเย้งกันเเละใช้เวลาในการประมวลผล เพราะถ้าเราไม่คิดเราจะรู้สึกใช้ระบบ 1 ในการตอบของความหมายของคำเเทน ### บทที่ 2 ระบบ 2 ถ้าเปรียบในหนัง จะเป็นเพียงพระรอง เพราะระบบ 1 ของคนเราจะเป็นระบบหลักในการทำงาน เมื่อมีความซับซ้อน ที่ไม่ใช่ความเคยชิน ถึงเริ่มปรับเป็นระบบ 2 รูม่านตากับระบบ 2 มีการทดลองที่ทำให้รู้ว่า รูม่านตาของเรา สอดคล้องกับ การใช้สมองในการเเก้ปัญหายิ่งยาก รูม่านตาของเราจะขยายใหญ่มากตาม การทดลอง โดยมีการทดลองมีเลข 4 ตัว เเละให้บวก 1 เพิ่มก่อนตอบ เช่น 4895 จะต้องตอบเป็น 5906 เป็นต้น ซึ่งจากการทดลองยิ่งสมองใช้งานมากขึ้น ตามปกติเเล้วสมองของเราจะพยายามที่ใช้พลังงานให้น้อย เเละเมื่อเรามีทักษะมากขึ้น สมองของเราก็จะใช้พลังงานน้อยลง เข้าโหมดของ ระบบ 1 ### บทที่ 3 สมองจะมีอัตราความเร็ว ของมันเอง โดยเมื่อคุณเดินเป็นความเร็วปกติ คุณจะสามารถใช้ความคิดได้ระหว่างเดิน เเต่เมื่อต้องใช้สมองในการเเก้ไขโจทย์ซับซ้อน ในเวลากำหนด อาจจะต้องหยุดเดินหรือนั่งเพื่อเเก้ปัญหานั้นๆ เเละเมื่อเราเดินเร็วขึ้นการที่จะคิดไปด้วยนั้น เมื่อร่างกายเเย่งพลังงานในการใช้สมอง ทำให้การคิดระหว่างที่เดินเร็วนั้นยากขึ้น **ภาวะลื่นไหล (Flow)** คือภาวะที่สมองจดจ่อโดยไม่ต้องใช้ความพยายาม จนลืมเวลา เเต่เมื่อสมองจดจ่อกับการใช้ความคิดจะทำให้เรา การควบคุมตัวเองลดน้อยลง หรือความมุ่งมั้นที่น้อยลง (ego depletion) เช่น ใช้เงินเเบบไม่คิด หรือเริ่มไม่ควบคุมอาหาร ภาวะที่สมองทำงานหนักมากขึ้น จากการทดลอง สมองจะมีความต้องการ กลูโคสมากขึ้น ระบบ 1 จะมีความหุนหันมากกว่า ระบบ 2 จะมีความคิด เเละเหตุผล คนที่สามารถใช้ระบบ 2 ได้ดีกว่ามีโอกาสที่จะควบคุมอารมณ์ เเละยั้งคิดได้กว่า เเละเมื่อเราใช้สมองเเบบระบบ 1 คำถามบางคำถามเราอาจจะตอบเเบบเข้าใจไปเองว่าถูก จากหนังสือยกตัวอย่างเช่น > *กุหลาบทุกชนิดเป็นดอกไม้ > ดอกไม้บางชนิดโรยราอย่างรวดเร็ว > ดังนั้นกุหลาบบางชนิดโรยราอย่างรวดเร็ว* มองเผินๆอาจจะถูกต้อง เเต่จริงๆกุหลาบสามารถที่จะไม่โรยราเลย หรือโรยราทั้งหมดก็ได้ ถ้าเราใช้ระบบ 1 อาจจะตอบว่าถูกต้อง เเต่ถ้าพิจารณาโดยใช้ระบบ 2 ก็มีโอกาสตอบถูก ### บทที่ 4 การปูพื้นความคิด สมองคนเราสามารถถูกชักจูงได้ เช่น ***”กล้วย” “อาเจียน”*** การอ่านคำว่า กล้วย หรือ อาเจียน สมองของเราจะมีความรู้สึกที่ตอบสนองทันที บางคนอาจจะรู้สึกว่า กล้วยนั้นทำให้อาเจียนเเละรู้สึกพะอืดพะอมโดยไม่รู้ตัว การทำงานของสมองของเราจะกระตุ้นทุกส่วน เช่น ความทรงจำ ความรู้สึก การตอบสนอง สิ่งที่น่าสนใจคือการที่สมองรับรู้คำ ร่างการของเราจะตอบสนองด้วย อีกหนึ่งการทดลองที่น่าสนใจคือ ถ้าเราได้ยินคำว่า ***Eat*** มาก่อน ให้เติมคำ ***so_p*** มีแนวโน้มอย่างมากที่จะตอบว่า soup มากกว่า soap รวมถึงคำอื่นที่เกี่ยวข้องกับการกิน **การทดลองฟรอริดา** ให้นักศึกษา เเต่งประโยคจากคำ 4 คำ โดยเเต่ละกลุ่มได้คำต่างๆกันไปเเต่มีกลุ่มนึงได้คำตามนี้ ***“เหี่ยวย่น หลงลืม ศรีษะล้าน สีเทา”*** หลังจากให้เเต่งประโยคด้วยคำด้านบน เเละให้นักศึกษาเดินไปพัก ซึ่งนักวิจัยได้จับเวลาการเดิน ของกลุ่มที่ได้คำด้านบน ปรากฎว่ามีการเดินที่ช้ากว่ากลุ่มที่ได้รับคำอื่นๆ ซึ่งจากด้านบนไม่มีคำว่า คนแก่ เลย หรือทางกลับกันการทดลองให้เดิน 30 ก้าว ใน 1 นาที ซึ่งเป็นการเดินที่ช้ากว่าปกติ 1/3 ที่นักวิจัยได้เก็บข้อมูล กลุ่มนี้จะมีเเนวโน้มคิดคำเกี่ยวกับ คนเเก่ ได้มากเป็นพิเศษ จากการทดลองทำให้ทราบได้ว่าสมองเราสามารถจะปูพื้นความคิดได้ ถ้าอยากยิ้มให้เห็นคำว่าร่าเริง หรือถ้าเราทำปากยิ้ม ก็จะมีผลให้เรารู้สึกร่าเริงเช่นกัน ### บทที่ 5 ความง่ายในการคิด สมองเมื่อมีความทรงจำ ประสบการณ์ ปูพื้นความคิดจะเกิดความสบายใจ มีเเนวโน้มที่จะคิดเเบบผิวๆ เเละใช้สัญชาตญาณ **ภาพลวงตา** สามารถเกิดในการะบวนการคิดได้ ตัวอย่าง มีชื่อตามนี้ ***โมนิกา กิลเบิร์ก ทิรานา ชานา*** ชื่อพวกนี้เราคงเพิ่งเคยได้ยินครั้งเเรก วันนึง มีการรวบรวมชื่อบุคคลที่ชื่อเสียงในระดับท้ายเเถว เเละมีชื่อใหม่ๆ เช่น ชื่อ ชานา เราจะมีเเนวโน้มที่ให้ ชานา เป็นบุคคลทีชื่อเสียง ซึ่งสิ่งนี้เกิดจาก “ความคุ้นเคย” เราจะคิดเเบบง่ายมากขึ้น เมื่อเราเคยเจอ คำ หรือ ชื่อที่เคยเห็นมาก่อน เเม้จะเห็นเพียงครั้งเดียว วิธีที่สร้างความง่ายในการคิด ต้องทำให้รู้สึกว่าอ่านง่าย เช่น **อดอล์ฟ ฮิตเลอร์ เกิดปี 1892** อดอล์ฟ ฮิตเลอร์ เกิดปี 1887 จากการทดลองผู้คนเชื่อในประโยคเเรกว่าเป็นจริงมากกว่า ทั้งที่จริงๆเเล้วเกิดปี 1889 หรือคำที่มีความคล้องจองก็จะช่วยให้เกิดความคุ้นเคยได้อีกการทดลอง ให้ประเมินบริษัทที่สมมุติขึ้นมา โดยบริษัทเเรกออกเสียงง่ายๆ เช่น อาเทน อีกบริษัท ชื่อ อาทาฮุท ผู้คนมีเเนวโน้มที่จะประเมินบริษัทที่ออกเสียงง่ายดีกว่าอีกบริษัท ถ้าให้คนเริ่มที่จะขมวดคิ้วที่กล่าวไว้ตอนเเรก มีเเนวโน้มที่จะใช้ระบบ 2 ที่ต้องพยายามในการคิด เช่น การทดลองให้มีคำถามเหมือนกัน เเต่พิมพ์ในกระดาษที่ชัด เเละ ม่ชัด ***“หากเครื่องจักร 5 เครื่องใช้เวลา 5 นาทีในการผลิตสินค้า 5 ชิ้น เเล้วเครื่องจักร 100 เครื่องใช้เวลาเท่าไหร่ในการผลิต 100 ชิ้น”*** สรุปการทดลองจากกลุ่มพิมพ์ในการะดาษที่ไม่ชัด ตอบถูก มากกว่า กลุ่มที่พิมพ์ในกระดาษชัด **Mere exposure effect** การเห็นซ้ำๆ เป็นการตอกย้ำให้เราเกิดความง่ายในการคิด การทดลองมีการประกาศคำในหนังสือพิพ์มหาลัย เป็น ภาษาตุรกี เช่น คาดีร์กา ซาริซิก นัมโซมา เป็นต้น โดยลงเป็นความถี่ที่ไม่เท่ากัน หลังจากลงประกาศสิ้นสุดลง ให้นักศึกษาคิดว่าศัพท์เเต่ละคำมีความหมาย ดี หรือ ร้าย ผลปรากฎว่าคำที่เห็นบ่อยมีเเนวโน้มให้ความหมายที่ดีมากกว่า ### บทที่ 6 **ประเมินความปกติ** ความประหลาดใจเป็นหนึ่งในคุณสมบัติของสมองเเต่การเกิดเหตุการณ์ซ้ำๆในเหตุการณ์หนึ่งๆ ทำให้เรารู้สึกประหลาดใจน้อยลง เช่น เมื่อเราไปเที่ยวต่างประเทศ เเละเราได้เจอเพื่อนที่สนิท ที่ไม่ได้เจอกันมานานมาก 10 ปี เราจะรู้สึกประหลาดใจมาก ถูกต้องมั้ยครับ ว่าบังเอิญมากๆ ผ่านไป 2 สัปดาห์ เราได้เจอเพื่อนอีกครั้งในโรงหนังนั่งติดกันเลย ความประหลาดของเราจะน้อยกว่าครั้งเเรกมาก ทั้งๆที่มันมีความเป็นไปได้น้อยมากที่จะมาเจออีกครั้งเเละนั่งติดกัน **ทฤษฎีความปกติ** เมื่อเราเจอเหตุการณ์หนึ่งๆ ถ้าเกิดซ้ำอีกครั้งเราจะรู้สึกว่ามันสมเหตุสมผล เช่น วัหนึ่งขับรถบนถนนเส้นนึง เเล้วเกิดเหตุการณ์ไฟไหม้ เเละอีกหนึ่งอาทิตย์ถัดมา เกิดเหตุการณ์ไฟไหม้อีกครั้ง เราจะรู้สึกประหลาดใจน้อยลง เมื่อทุกครั้งที่ผ่านถนนเส้นนี้เราจะรู้สึกว่ามันเป็นถนน “ไฟไหม้” สำหรับเราทันที หรือคำถามที่ว่า ***โมเสสพาขึ้นเรือชนิดละกี่ตัว*** น่าจะตอบกันได้นะครับว่าเท่าไหร่ เเต่มันผิด! โนอาร์ต่างหากที่เป็นคนพาสัตว์ขึ้นเรือ ที่เรารู้สึกโดยหลอกเพราะเราเชื่อมโยงความปกติของโมเสสเเละโนอาร์คือคนในตำนานเหมือนกัน เเต่เมื่อเปลี่ยนเป็น อีลอนมัส เราจัะรู้สึกว่ามันผิดเเต่เเรกทันที **มองเห็นเหตุผลเเละเจตนา** เรามีความสามารถระบุหาเหตุผลเเละเจตนามาโดยกำเนิด ยกตัวอย่าง ***“หลังจากใช้เวลาทั้งวันไปกับการชื่นชมสิ่งสวยงาม ตามท้องถนน ที่เต็มไปด้วยฝูงชนของนครนิวยอร์ก เจนพบว่ากระเป๋าเงินของเธอหายไป”*** เมื่ออ่านจบให้ทำการทดสอบเพื่อตรวจสอบว่าสามารถจำเรื่องราวได้มากเเค่ไหน ผู้เข้าทดสอบมีเเนวโน้มที่จะจำคำว่า ล้วงกระเป๋ามากกว่าสิ่งสวยงาม ความเชื่อมโยงเเละหาเหตุผลทำให้การที่กระเป๋าเงินหายนั้น ส่งผลให้นึกถึงสาเหตุต่างๆมากมาย ว่าโดยโจรขโมยมั้ย หรือทำหล่นหาย ซึ่งสมองเราหาคำอธิบายเพื่อเติมเต็มเรื่องราวให้สมบูรณ์ ส่วนอีกตัวอย่างที่มีการทดลองเป็น วีดีโอมี **สามเหลี่ยมขนาดใหญ่** **สามเหลี่ยมขนาดเล็ก** **วงกลม** อยู่ในพื้นที่คล้ายๆแผงผังบ้าน โดยเนื้อเรื่องสามเหลี่ยมใหญ่ เหมือนจะ พยายามระราน สามเหลี่ยมเล็กเเละวงกลม เเต่สามเหลี่ยมเล็กเเละวงกลมร่วมใจกันเอาชนะสามเหลี่ยมใหญ่ได้ จากการทดลอง สมองของเรากระตือรือร้นที่จะระบุตัวละคร ให้รูปทรงที่กระทำการ เหมือนจะ ต่างๆ ให้มีคนดี คนร้ายเองอัตโนมัติ สิ่งพวกนี้เกิดในสมองเรา เเสดงให้เห็นว่าเรามีความสามารถในการระบุเจตนามาโดยกำเนิด ### บทที่ 7 การด่วนสรุป ***A I3 C 12 I3 14*** จากกด้านบนเขียนว่ายังไง ทุกคนน่าจะอ่าน A B C และ 12 13 14 แต่สามารถ อ่านเป็น A 13 C และ 12 B 14 ทำไมเราไม่อ่านแบบนั้น? เพราะบริบทรอบข้างเป็นแบบนั้น มันมีความกำกวม เเต่สมองจะด่วนสรุปจากบริบท สมองระบบ 1 ของเราจะคาดเดาจากประสบการณ์เเละบริบทรอบตัว ในการตีความสิ่งที่มีความกำกวม เช่น ความทรงจำของเรา ตอนเด็กๆเราคงท่อง A B C อยู่เเล้ว เราคงไม่ท่อง A 13 C **อคติจากความเชื่อเเละยืนยันความเชื่อ** การพยายามเชื่อในตอนแรกเป็นหน้าที่ของระบบ 1 แม้ข้อความที่ไม่มีสาระก็สามารถกระตุ้นเราเชื่อในตอนแรกได้ เช่น ***“ปลากินลูกกวาด”*** เมื่ออ่านข้อความนี้เราน่าจะมีภาพอะไรในหัว สมองของเราพยายามจะหาความเชื่อมโยง เพื่อให้ข้อความข้างต้นสมเหตุสมผล อีกหนึ่งการทดลอง ทำให้รู้ว่าเมื่อมีความเหนื่อยล้า สมองของเรามีเเนวโน้มพร้อมจะเชื่อแทบทุกอย่าง ให้ผู้ทดลองต้องจำตัวเลขหลายหลักเเละต้องดูข้อความที่ ปรากฎขึ้น หลังจากนั้นจะมีคำว่า จริงหรือเท็จ ปรากฎตามมาภายหลังเพียงคำเดียว ผลสรุปว่าผู้ทดลองมีเเนวโน้มที่จะเชื่อข้อความที่เป็นเท็จ เพราะสมองระบบ 2 ของเรายุ่งเเละเหนื่อยล้ากับการต้องจำตัวเลขก่อน **Confirmation Bias** การทำงานของความทรงจำเชื่องโยงไปสู่อคติที่เกิดจากการมองหาสิ่งยืนยันความเชื่อ เช่น คำถามว่า ***“แซมเป็นมิตรใช่มั้ย”*** เราจะนึกถึงพฤติกรรมต่างๆได้มากกว่าถามว่า ***”แซมไม่ค่อยเป็นมิตรใช่มั้ย”*** สมองของเราจะจดจ่อกับการหาสิ่งยืนยัน เเละสอดคล้องกับความเชื่อตัวเอง **Halo Effect** ถ้าเรามีเเนวโน้มที่จะชอบคนนึง ไม่ว่าจะเป็นภาพลักษณ์ น้ำเสียง ความอ่อนน้อม เรามีความเป็นไปได้ที่จะมองเค้าในเเง่ดีเกินความจริง มีตัวอย่างการทดลอง ***อลัน : ฉลาด ขยันขันแข็ง หุนหัน ชอบวิจารณ์ ดื้อรั้น ขี้อิจฉา เบน : ขี้อิจฉา ดื้อรั้น ชอบวิจารณ์ หุนหัน ขยันขันแข็ง ฉลาด*** คนส่วนใหญ่จะมองว่าอลันในเเง่ดีกว่าเบน การเรียงลำดับจึงสำคัญ เพราะเราจะแปลความหมายจากเเรกไปอันดับรองลงมา ทำให้ความประทับใจเเรกเป็นสิ่งสำคัญ **WYSIATI (What you see is all there is)** “สิ่งที่เราเห็นคือทั้งหมดที่เป็น” สมองระบบ 1 ของเราจะชอบด่วนสรุปและอ้างอิงกับความจำที่เรามี การทดลองให้ผู้ทดลองได้ฟังความจากทนายที่มีหลักฐานเพียงฝั่งเดียว กลุ่มที่ได้เห็นหลักฐานฝั่งเดียวมั่นใจการตัดสินใจมากกว่ากลุ่มที่ได้ฟังจากทั้งสองฝั่ง ผลมาจากความสอดคล้องของเรื่องราว ที่พวกเขาสามารถปะติดปะต่อขึ้นจากข้อมูลที่มี ปัจจัยที่สำคัญ คือ “ความสอดคล้องของข้อมูล ไม่ใช่ความสมบูรณ์ของข้อมูล” ### บทที่ 8 **การตัดสินใจเกิดขึ้นอย่างไร** สมองของเราจะมีการ “ประเมินขั้นพื้นฐาน” ว่าคนที่เราเจอมีลักษณะเป็นอย่างไร เช่น ดูมีอำนาจ ยิ้มแย้ม ความน่าเชื่อถือ มีการทดลองที่ให้ ผู้ทดลองดูภาพใบหน้าหาเสียงของผู้สมัครเลือกตั้ง ผลปรากฎว่ามีความใกล้เคียงกับผู้ที่ถูกเลือกตั้งจริงๆจากประเทศที่ได้รับเลือกจริง **การเปรียบเทียบความเข้มข้น** สมองระบบ 1 ของเราสามารถเปรียบความเข้มข้นกับในบริบทที่ต่างกันได้ เช่น อาชญากกรมที่มีความรุนเเรง ฆาตกกรรมจะมีความเข้มกว่าการลักขโมยของ หรืออีกตัวอย่างคือ จูลี่อ่านหนังสือได้คล่องตอนอายุ 4 ปี เราสามารถที่จะเปรียบเทียบความเข้มข้นได้เป็น เงินเดือนเท่าไหร่ความจะเปรียบเทียบได้กับความสามารถมากจูลี่ หรือ เกรดเฉลี่ยเท่าไหร่ที่เหมาะสมกับความสามารถ ซึ่งถ้าวัดด้วยความเป็นจริงอาจจะไม่ใช่ก็ได้ เเต่สมองระบบ 1 ของเราสามารถที่จะเปรียบเทียบได้ การคิดเเบบเหวี่ยงแห การทดลองเมื่อได้ยินเสียงคล้องจองกันให้กดปุ่มให้เร็วที่สุด **VOTE-NOTE** **VOTE-GOAT** เราสามารถเห็นความเเตกต่างได้ชัดเจนว่า vote กับ note ใกล้เคียงกว่า แต่การทดลองผู้เข้าทดลองจะได้ยินเพียงเสียงของคำ กลับไม่เป็นอย่างนั้น ในมุมผู้ทดลองจะมีการเปรียบเทียบเสียงของตัวสะกด เเทนที่คำสั่งคือการฟังเเค่เสียงคล้องจอง หรืออีกการทดลอง ให้กดปุ่มเร็วที่สุดว่าประโยคไหนเป็นจริงหรือเป็นเท็จ **some roads are snakes (ถนนบางเส้นเป็นงู)** **some jobs are snakes (งานบางงานเป็นงู)** **some jobs are jails (งานบางงานเป็นคุก)** ทั้งสามประโยคเป็นเท็จเเต่จากการทดลอง ผู้ทดลองมีการตอบสนองต่อประโยคต่างกัน เช่น ประโยค 1 กับ 3 เป็นจริงในเชิงเปรียบเทียบ ทำให้เราใช้เวลาในการคิดมาก เพราะสมองเราคิดเเบบเหวี่ยงแห ### บทที่ 9 **ตอบคำถามที่ง่ายกว่า** เรามักจะมีคำตอบกับคำถามที่เราไม่เข้าใจอย่างถ่องเเท้ โดยใช้หลักฐานที่เราไม่สามารถอธิบายได้ **การแทนที่คำถาม** ระบบ 1 ของเราเมื่อมีคำถามมา มันจะพยายามเชื่อมโยง หาคำตอบที่เป็นไปได้เเละง่ายที่สุด โดยการแทนที่คำถามให้ง่าย เช่น ”คุณมีความสุขกับชีวิตของคุณมากน้อยเพียงใด” เจอคำถามนี้เราจะคิดนานขึ้นจนสมองอาจจะขอเปลี่ยนคำถามเป็น ”ตอนนี้ฉันรู้สึกยังไง” ทางลัดความคิดของอารมณ์ ตัวอย่างการแทนที่คำถามที่มีการทดลองเก็บตัวอย่าง 1.คุณมีความสุขมากแค่ไหนในตอนนี้ 2.คุณออกเดตกี่ครั้งในเดือนที่แล้ว นักวิจัยต้องการศึกษาความเชื่อมโยงของคำตอบว่า ถ้าออกเดตบ่อย จะมีความสุขมากกว่าหรือไม่ ผลปรากฎว่าไม่มีความเชื่อมโยงกันเลยของคำตอบ ผู้ถูกถามจะไม่นึกถึงการออกเดตเลยในสิ่งเเรกที่ได้ยินคำถามนี้ กลับกันถามว่า 1.คุณออกเดตกี่ครั้งในเดือนที่แล้ว 2.คุณมีความสุขมากแค่ไหนในตอนนี้ ผลเเตกต่างไปสิ้นเชิง ความเชื่อมของจำนวนการเดตเริ่มสอดคล้องกัน การที่เราถูกถามเรื่องความสุขตอนนี้ จะใช้เวลาในการพิจารณามากกว่า เเต่เมื่อถามกับออกเดตก่อนเรามีคำตอบกับการเชื่อมโยงอยู่เเล้ว

What is Cooker? Cooker.club is a decentralized AI agent creation and distribution platform that focuses on empowering the Web3 ecosystem through music AI agents, virtual idols, social KOLs, and AI NPCs. By integrating AI, music, and Web3, it has built a new AI creator economy, allowing AI characters to engage in autonomous creation, social interaction, and economic activities. The platform supports AI agent creation, tokenized economic systems, social interaction, smart contract execution, and decentralized governance, enabling users to freely create AI agents and manage their economic operations. In the Cooker.club ecosystem, the Bonding Curve is a crucial dynamic pricing mechanism that determines how AI agent tokens fluctuate based on supply and demand, promoting the healthy development of the AI economy. 1. What is a Bonding Curve? A Bonding Curve is a mathematical function that automatically adjusts the price of an asset based on its supply. The core logic is: Buying tokens (increasing supply) → Price rises Selling tokens (decreasing supply) → Price falls This ensures that token prices do not rely on order books but are automatically adjusted by smart contracts based on supply and demand, enhancing liquidity and market fairness. 2. Common Types of Bonding Curves The mathematical formula of a Bonding Curve determines how prices change. Different curve types suit different economic models: (1) Linear Bonding Curve Formula: P = kS Characteristics: Price increases linearly with supply Suitable for simple token economic systems (2) Exponential Bonding Curve Formula: P = kS^n Characteristics: Price increases exponentially as supply grows Suitable for high-growth, high-incentive token models (3) Logarithmic Bonding Curve Formula: P = k log(S + 1) Characteristics: Price growth slows down, preventing excessive inflation Suitable for long-term stable AI economies 3. How Does Cooker Utilize the Bonding Curve? (1) Dynamic Pricing of AI Agent Tokens AI agents on Cooker.club can issue their own Agent Tokens, whose price is influenced by the Bonding Curve, ensuring: Early adopters can purchase tokens at a lower cost, promoting AI agent growth. As AI agents gain influence, token prices rise, rewarding early supporters. (2) DAO and Decentralized Governance Cooker adopts the Bonding Curve mechanism to ensure fair distribution of governance tokens, enabling the community to participate in the economic decisions of AI agents. 4. Milestones: Expanding to Larger Liquidity Pools Cooker has an innovative milestone-based liquidity expansion strategy, where AI agent tokens transition from the Cooker.club ecosystem to major decentralized exchanges as they reach key valuation thresholds: Base Milestone: When an AI agent token reaches a predefined market cap, it gets listed on Uniswap (Ethereum network). BSC Milestone: Upon reaching a higher threshold, it expands to PancakeSwap (Binance Smart Chain). Upcoming Solana Milestone: AI agent tokens will soon launch on Raydium once they meet the required valuation criteria on the Solana blockchain. This approach ensures smooth liquidity growth while maintaining controlled token price dynamics through the Bonding Curve. 5. Conclusion The Bonding Curve is an essential dynamic pricing mechanism in the Cooker ecosystem, ensuring a more transparent and sustainable AI token economy. Through this mechanism, Cooker.club aims to establish a decentralized, autonomous AI creator economy, where AI characters evolve into independent intelligent entities within the Web3 financial ecosystem. The milestone-based liquidity expansion further enhances accessibility and market adoption, bridging AI agent tokens into broader decentralized finance environments.

## 🧠Quote(s) of the week: CBDC the digital euro - a centralized solution in search of a problem. While the ECB may see it as a way to 'modernize' finance, true innovation comes from empowering individuals, not consolidating control. CBDCs are just surveillance tools disguised as innovation. Bitcoin is the only true digital money—decentralized, scarce, and free. Stack sats, not CBDCs. ## 🧡Bitcoin news🧡 2025 https://i.ibb.co/vx988kT1/Gn-Ix-Dp-YWs-AASkiw.jpg On the 24th of March: ➡️The Pakistan central bank is exploring mining Bitcoin with excess electricity. ➡️'MicroStrategy just added another 7,000 Bitcoin to their treasury. They're now holding over 506,000 BTC ($44 billion). Look at the corporate Bitcoin ownership breakdown: - MicroStrategy: 506,000+ BTC - Marathon: ~46,000 BTC (10x smaller) - Riot: ~19,000 BTC (26x smaller) That acquisition curve has gone parabolic since Q4 2024. Strategy's buying pace now rivals what we're seeing from the Bitcoin ETFs, a single public company absorbing supply at an institutional scale. Clear institutional conviction signal here.' -Ecoinometrics ➡️SQUARE CEO JACK DORSEY: "Bitcoin will make the current financial system feel as irrelevant as the fax machine." On the 25th of March: ➡️'BITCOIN HASH-RIBBON FLASHES BUY SIGNAL  - This is one of the most reliable "buy" indicators.  - Significant price gains have followed 7 out of the last 7 times this indicator was triggered.' -Bitcoin Archive (foto) Bitcoin is always a buy. Just DCA. ➡️GameStop includes Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset in its investment policy update. GameStop has $4.6 billion in cash to invest. ➡️Strategy’s sale of 8.5 million STRF shares closes today, unlocking $711 million in new capital to buy more Bitcoin. ➡️BBC News reports from a remote community of 15,000 people in the far north-western tip of Zambia relying on hydroelectric power, “The bitcoin mine now accounts for around 30% of the plant's revenue allowing them to keep the prices down for the local town” - Source: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly4xe373p4o Gridless is doing a splendid job in Africa and showing through proof-of-work that if you aren't mining Bitcoin, you are wasting energy. It's time for such communities to appear more around the world. Daniel Batten: 'They couldn't resist zooming out and implying this is an outlier (it isn't, the majority of off-grid bitcoin mining operations are renewably powered). In doing so BBC made three factually incorrect statements at the end about Bitcoin mining straining grids (multiple peer-reviewed studies show the opposite is true), and "Greenidge gas power plant in New York which was renovated to mine bitcoin" (it didn't, it re-opened to supply power back to the grid), and stating that Bitcoin mining needs artificial govt incentives or rules to do the right thing (It doesn't, it's become 56.7% sustainably powered without any govt incentives) But let's shine the light on the positive - it has far fewer factually incorrect statements than previous reporting, and it is a step in the right direction in its gradual journey towards objective Bitcoin reporting for a media company that has until now only published negative news stories on Bitcoin.' ➡️Femke Halsema, Mayor of Amsterdam, wants a national ban on Bitcoin payments: "It undermines our civilization". I rather believe the opposite. Under Femke Halsema - Amsterdam - The number of civil servants increased by 50% (14K -> 20K) - Debt increased by 150% (4 billion -> approx. 10 billion) Despite high revenues, Amsterdam has to borrow nearly half a billion euros every year. Local taxes continue to rise, whether it's water authority taxes or property taxes (OZB). But, above all, you should be concerned about those 0.3% criminal Bitcoin / Crypto transactions (worldwide). The audacity. Even if the Netherlands were to legally ban Bitcoin payments, users could easily continue trading through foreign exchanges or peer-to-peer platforms. A ban might actually push Bitcoin usage further underground, making oversight of suspicious transactions worse rather than better. ➡️Mt.

Then, after the market closed on Friday, S&P 500 futures erased ANOTHER -$120 billion in minutes.' -TKL ## 🏦Banks:  👉🏽 no news ## 🌎Macro/Geopolitics: On the 24th of March: 👉🏽Financelot: 'This is fascinating. The Dow Jones to Gold Ratio is about to cross a level only seen 4 times in history. Every time it crossed this level it marked the beginning of an 18-month recession/depression. 1929, 1973, 2008 & 2025' I don't think we won't see a depression. History rhymes but doesn't always mean it will repeat, although human behavior stays the same. For now, it means the market is overvalued, gold is undervalued, or both. 👉🏽US household wealth is falling: US household equity wealth is set to drop a whopping -$3 trillion this quarter, the most since the 2022 bear market, according to BofA estimates. By comparison, equity holdings rose +$9 trillion in 2024 to a record $56 trillion. In other words, one-third of last year's gains have likely been wiped out due to the recent market pullback. Furthermore, the top 10% of the wealthiest Americans own 87% of US stocks. This, in turn, may negatively impact consumer spending as the top 10% reflect a record 50% of all consumer expenditures. Consumer spending is set to slow in Q2 2025.' -TKL 👉🏽Demolition of the Boiler House at Moorburg Power Plant in Hamburg. Germany is preparing for combat by dynamiting its own modern energy infrastructure down. This was the most advanced coal plant. 6 years old and cost three billion euros. The Netherlands is following a similar policy—they poured concrete into their gas drilling pipes. BowTiedMara on Twitter: "In 2022, a girl tied herself to the net at Roland Garros in protest, and she wore a T-shirt that said: "We have 1,028 days left." Today, the 27th of March, marks those 1,028 days, and nothing happened. Climate doomers are like Aztecs who think the sun stops unless they cut out some organs." 👉🏽Starting in April, the 66,000 employees of the European institutions will receive their seventh salary increase in just three years! Normally, this happens at most once per year. The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, will see the largest increase, with her monthly salary rising to €34,800—an increase of €2,700—according to a report by the German newspaper Bild-Zeitung today. For the Dutch readers: https://ejbron.wordpress.com/2025/03/24/eu-bureaucraten-en-politici-krijgen-de-7e-salarisverhoging-sinds-2022/ They are compensating for the inflation they impose on the EU. Lucky them Fair to say we need a DOGE in Europe. On the 25th of March: 👉🏽Dutch minister announces a huge increase in excise duties of 25.8 cents on gasoline. On top of that, the price of gasoline will rise by an additional 7 cents due to the blending requirement and 11 cents due to the ETS-2 regulation. In a free market, prices would not be announced by politicians but would emerge through supply and demand. How I love the EU....although it is a bit more nuanced. The temporary discount is ending. Unless the parliament decides to extend it, the price of gasoline will rise. The Dutch government should simply spend less and abolish all taxes, excise duties, and levies on food, fuel, and energy. Never gonna happen though. 👉🏽"Shell will be thoroughly reviewing all its chemical divisions worldwide in the coming period. In Europe, this could lead to the partial or complete closure of various chemical branches." As mentioned multiple times last month, major industrial companies sounded the alarm. They warned that high energy costs in the Netherlands put their future at risk. Additionally, sustainability efforts and unclear government policies are challenging the sector. Frans Everts, President-Director of Shell Netherlands, warned that the entire industry could collapse. The Green Deal is moving full speed ahead—soon everyone will be relying on food banks… For the Dutch readers: https://nos.nl/artikel/2561036-shell-kijkt-naar-gedeeltelijke-sluiting-van-chemie-onderdelen On the 26th of March: 👉🏽EU countries will start using a digital driver’s license from 2030. This is the result of negotiations between the European Parliament and EU member states. In the Netherlands, the digital license will be valid for ten years and will be accessible via an app. And we all know which app that will be! The EU Digital Wallet must be filled, after all. Not just your driver’s license—everything will soon be linked to your digital identity. It’s all right there on the EU’s website, and it’s been planned for a long time. The COVID pass was already part of the rollout. The fact that they present these as separate steps just shows that they know people wouldn’t accept it if they were fully aware of what’s happening. On the 27th of March: 👉🏽Gold surpasses $3,100 for the first time in history. TKL: 'Gold prices have hit 50 all-time highs over the last 12 months, its best streak in 12 years. This is also the 3rd-longest streak on record after a historic run during the late 1970s. The 1970s came with a period of double-digit inflation, stagnant economic growth, and a high unemployment rate, also known as stagflation. As a result, gold prices recorded 4 consecutive yearly gains.' On the 31st of March for the first time, gold blasted through $100,000/kilogram. This time, gold prices have rallied 39% over the last 12 months, are up 16% year-to-date, and are on track for the 3rd annual positive performance.' 👉🏽NATO Secretary General Rutte insists there will be no normalization of relations with Russia for decades to come. On March 14, 2025, Bloomberg, Rutte says: "Once the war is over, relations with Russia will gradually be restored." On March 26, 2025, Rutte said: "There will be no normalization of relations with Russia for decades, even after the war is over." That is the Mark I know! "Mark Rutte, the long-serving Dutch Prime Minister, earned the nickname “Pinokkio” (Dutch for Pinocchio) primarily because of perceived dishonesty or evasiveness in political debates and scandals. While some still view Rutte as a pragmatic and stable leader, the nickname “Pinokkio” reflects a broader public sentiment of distrust, especially among those who felt betrayed by his communication style or decisions.” On the 28th of March: 👉🏽US consumers now expect 5.0%(!) inflation in the next twelve months. Inflation expectations have DOUBLED in just four months. That's huge! Long-term US inflation expectations have officially SURGED to 4.1%, the highest level since 1993. Tariff front-running has led to a $300+ BILLION trade deficit in 2 months, and consumer sentiment has collapsed. Atlanta Fed is now projecting that Q1 GDP will be -2.8%… a large contraction. It’s negative even “gold adjusted” 4 weeks ago it was +2.3% 8 weeks ago it was +3.9% Yikes! 👉🏽The State Department is officially shutting down USAID and has formally notified Congress of its closure. The remaining 900 employees are set to be terminated. 👉🏽Argentina’s Economy Grows 6.5% in January. Argentina’s Poverty Rate Drops from 52.9% to 38.1% in 15 Months Under Javier Milei 👉🏽Fix the money, fix the world: DOGE “There is actually really only ONE BANK ACCOUNT that's used to disperse ALL monies that go out of the federal government” “It's a big one — A couple of weeks ago it had $800 billion in it, it's the treasury general account” “We're serving 580+ agencies. And up until very recently, effectively they could say, make the payment and Treasury just sent it out as fast as possible. NO VERIFICATION” “There's a $500 billion of fraud every year. There are hundreds of billion dollars of improper payments and we can't pass an audit. The consolidated financial report is produced by treasury and we cannot pass an audit” Extremely fascinating interview by Bret Baier with the highly talented and competent DOGE team, which is rigorously streamlining the U.S. government bureaucracy. This work can only be done by competent (and motivated) outsiders with experience. Also urgently needed in the Netherlands, and in Europe. On the 29th of March: 👉🏽'US debt has been "limited" by the $36.104 trillion debt ceiling since January but the liabilities don't stop rising. As of today, US debt is now ~$37 trillion. Treasury has burned through $560BN of its cash balance in the past month. Just $280BN left.' -ZeroHedge On the 1st of April: In recent weeks, I have shared my opinion on the latest Dutch pension fund drama. This week: https://i.ibb.co/96ZhS0W/Gn-XEVQRXw-AM6b0-A.jpg APG and pension funds refused to invest in Dutch housing (for political reasons). This involved 25 billion euros. Currently we almost have a political scandal over a medal, but the fact that our pension system is being put at risk...no biggie!? For our own housing market? “Too political.” For war and Brussels' military ambitions? €100,000,000,000—no problem. They’re gambling with your pension while first-time buyers can’t afford a home and seniors struggle to make ends meet. Our money, their agenda. Got Bitcoin? I will end this Weekly Recap with a Stanley Druckenmiller quote: "My favorite quote of all time is maybe Mark Twain: "Put all your eggs in one basket and watch the basket carefully." "I tend to think that's what great investors do." I know what I do and have. Bitcoin! ## 🎁If you have made it this far I would like to give you a little gift: What Bitcoin Did: Peter Dunworth is the Director of a multi-family office and is the co-founder of The Bitcoin Adviser. In this episode, they discuss why Bitcoin is the only asset that can recapitalize the financial system, why Peter believes Bitcoin could become a $100 trillion asset within a decade, why credit markets are ultimately a collateral problem, and why financializing Bitcoin might be necessary to save Main Street from being collateral damage. They also get into Australia's property obsession, GameStop’s pivot to Bitcoin, the difference between Bitcoin derivatives and the asset itself, and MicroStrategy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bSprc0IAow Credit: I have used multiple sources!

# Bartering and early money \ Early societies bartered goods, but transactions were often complicated. The value of goods doesn’t always align. Enter money. It’s used as an indirect exchange for any goods, so everyone wants it. Early money wasn’t anything like what we use today. For example, the inhabitants of Yap Island (Micronesia) used large Rai stones for trade. New stones were dragged up a hill for everyone to see. The owner would then exchange part of the stone for goods and services. As they were hard to quarry and move, Rai stones retained their value (salability). Then, an Irish-American captain started importing stones using modern technology. Soon enough, they became so common, they no longer worked as money. --- # Gold — the basis for sound money \ Smelting made it possible to create highly salable and transportable coins. Gold was best because it’s virtually impossible to destroy and can’t be synthesized using other materials. It has a fairly limited supply, which grows slowly and predictably (due to the difficulty of mining). Technologies like the telegraph and trains made it easier for both people and goods to get from point A to point B. That, in turn, justified forms of payment like checks, paper receipts, and bills. But paper is not worth much unless it’s backed by something. Governments worldwide issued paper money backed by precious metals, which they stored in vaults. By 1900, around 50 countries had adopted the Gold Standard. This was sound money. --- # Currencies devalued \ Roman emperor Julius Caesar issued the Aureus, an empire-standard coin containing 8 grams of gold. But as growth began to slow, rulers started ‘coin clipping’, reducing the quantity of precious metal in coins. This eventually triggered a series of economic crises that led to the downfall of the Roman Empire. The gold standard had one major flaw: it had to be stored in bank vaults. This created a highly centralized system in which governments controlled the value of paper money. If they wanted to, they could always increase the supply of money without increasing the corresponding amount of gold. In 1914, nearly every major European power decided to do this to fund their war operations. Rather than raising taxes, they simply printed new money with no extra gold. The standard had been abandoned. --- # Government-backed money \ Governments chose to introduce fiat money – currency backed by decree rather than gold. The adoption of the fiat system led to an age of unsound money shaped by ever-greater intervention in the economy as governments scrambled to stabilize their currencies. By 1944, the end of the Second World War was in sight, and the victors began planning the postwar economic order. The world’s currencies would be tied to the US dollar at a fixed exchange rate. The dollar would in turn be tied to the value of gold, again at a fixed rate. The United States bent the rules and inflated its own currency compared to gold. Other nations inflated their currencies compared to the dollar. On August 15, 1971, President Nixon announced that dollars would no longer be convertible to gold. --- # Sound money = functioning economy \ Sound money encourages people to save and invest, enabling sustainable, long-term growth. Why? Well, humans have a natural positive time preference: we prefer instant gratification over future gratification. Sound money prompts us to think more about the future. The more capital accumulation there is, the greater the chance of stable, long-term economic growth. Unsound money distorts capital accumulation. When governments interfere with the money supply, they also interfere with prices. And prices give investors the information they need to make good decisions without having to learn every tiny detail about global events. --- # Recessions and debt arise from unsound money \ Government interference takes the form of central planning. No single person, agency, or department ever has access to all the information necessary to understand the vast and complex economy. Interventions distort markets, creating boom and bust cycles. According to Keynes and his followers, the best way to respond to recessions is to increase spending. You could lower taxes, but people don’t usually spend their extra money. Raising taxes is unpopular, so governments invariably decide to increase the money supply. Saving becomes less attractive, creating a culture of unwise spending and growing debt. We need to return to sound money and a new gold standard. Enter bitcoin. --- # Bitcoin is scarce \ Bitcoin has similar traits to gold. Its supply is literally fixed. Once there are 21 million bitcoins in circulation, no more will be issued. The supply grows at a diminishing rate. Computers across the Bitcoin network pool their processing power to solve complex algorithmic problems. Once these puzzles have been cracked, the “miners” receive bitcoins as a reward. Satoshi Nakamoto designed the system to avoid gold rushes. The algorithmic problems become more difficult to solve as the number of computers working on them rises, guaranteeing a steady and reliable supply. Also, the number of bitcoins issued is halved every four years, resulting in ever-smaller releases until 2140, after which no more coins will be released. That makes bitcoin unique. It is the only good that is defined by absolute scarcity. No amount of time or resources can create more bitcoins than the programmed supply allows. The supply cannot be manipulated, making it a perfect store of value. --- # Bitcoin is secure \ The bitcoin ledger uses the public blockchain. When mining computers crack an algorithmic puzzle, they create a block. The blocks on the ledger contain details about every blockchain transaction ever completed. Every network user can view this information. Ownership of bitcoins is only valid once it’s been registered on the blockchain. This is only possible if the majority of network users approve it, so there’s no need for a central authority to oversee transactions. While verifying new blocks requires virtually no energy, creating a fraudulent block would cost a significant amount of processing power. Even if a user decided to expend vast amounts of energy and successfully hacked a majority of all network nodes to approve a fraudulent block, they’d gain very little. Trust in bitcoin would be lost, leading to a drop in demand and value. --- # Challenges for adoption \ Because bitcoin is new, demand has varied. The volatile price has, at times, undermined the currency’s status as an effective store of value. Bitcoin’s transaction limit is currently set at 500,000 per day. That could be increased, but there will always be a daily cap. The more transactions that take place, the more nodes there’ll need to be. This increases transaction fees and the amount of processing power expended. Bitcoin could be traded off the blockchain, meaning currencies will be backed by bitcoin. That would create a new standard, but it would also mean that new centralized institutions would need to manage this system. ---  This 5-minute summary did not use copyrighted material from the book. It aims simply to give readers a quick understanding of the book (which is well worth reading). ‘*The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking’* was written by economist Saifedean Ammous in 2018.

#TheWholeGrain - #March2025 March of 2025 was a standard month for Bread and Toast. However, it did include a the occasional five Sunday Singles which seems like hitting the jackpot! Talk about lucky! Included with the five Sunday Singles was two more pages of the Adventure Series: Questline where we saw Bread, Toast, and End-Piece face off against their first adversary! End-Piece made a first appearance for in Toast's Comic Collection under the title E: The Last Slice while the Concept Art piece was the original drawing of all three slices of bread together.

I was reading this passage last night: > …from that time when one came to a grain heap of twenty measures, there would be only ten; and when one came to the wine vat to draw fifty measures, there would be only twenty. I smote you and every work of your hands with blasting wind, mildew and hail; **yet you did not come back to Me**,’ declares the Lord. ‘Do consider from this day onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month; from the day when the temple of the Lord was founded, consider: Is the seed still in the barn? Even including the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate and the olive tree, it has not borne fruit. **Yet from this day on I will bless you**.’ ” (Haggai 2:16-19) {emphasis mine} Why were bad things happening to the Israelites? Because they were not following God. Why did God allow these difficult situations to occur? Because God was calling them back to Himself. This made me think of several times lately, when I had written about Christians going through hard times, that fellow believers had tried to kindly correct me implying that God would not allow these painful things to happen to believers. They were trying to defend God’s honor, but instead they were degrading God. If God is not in control of everything, then either God is unable to protect His own from harm because of sin or bad things happened accidentally and God ignored the injustice. Saying God was not in control of allowing every hardship is either saying God isn’t strong enough, isn’t smart enough, or isn’t loving enough. The God I serve is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, and love incarnate. He also didn’t promise us easy, pleasant lives, but did promise that good would come out of every situation. > And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28) When Jesus walked on earth and some people said they wanted to follow Him, His response was not what we would expect: > And He was saying to them all, “**If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me**. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it. For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits himself? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. (Luke 9:23-26) {emphasis mine} When one particular man said that he would follow Jesus anywhere, Jesus responded this way. > As they were going along the road, someone said to Him, “I will follow You wherever You go.” And Jesus said to him, “**The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head**.” (Luke 9:57-58) {emphasis mine} Jesus was brutally honest that following Him would not be easy or comfortable. Following Jesus is more likely to lead to hardship and persecution that prosperity and comfort. > “Then **they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name**. At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold. But **the one who endures to the end, he will be saved**. This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:9-14) {emphasis mine} Of course God isn’t putting us through hardship to torture us. He is putting us in situations to grow our faith and dependence on Him, i.e. Abraham. He is putting us in situations where we can minister to others, i.e. Joseph. He is using us as examples of faith to others, i.e. Job. Any hardship has an eternal purpose. Sometimes we can see it (at least eventually) if we are looking for God’s will and plan. Sometime we won’t see what He was accomplishing until we get to heaven. Still we need to trust God through it all, knowing His plan is perfect. > “**For my thoughts are not your thoughts,\ > neither are your ways my ways**,”\ > declares the Lord. > > “As the heavens are higher than the earth,\ > so are **my ways higher than your ways**\ > and my thoughts than your thoughts. > > As the rain and the snow\ > come down from heaven,\ > and do not return to it\ > without watering the earth\ > and making it bud and flourish,\ > so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,\ > so is **my word that goes out from my mouth:\ > It will not return to me empty,\ > but will accomplish what I desire\ > and achieve the purpose for which I sent it**. (Isaiah 55:8-11) {emphasis mine} God understands how hard it is to understand what He is accomplishing. We live in the here and now while He is outside time and space and therefore has a heavenly and eternal perspective that we will never truly have this side of heaven. He has told us how the story ends, so that we can have peace and trust Him through whatever circumstances He has blessed us. > Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? Behold, an hour is coming, and has already come, for you to be scattered, each to his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. **These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world**.” (John 16:31-33) {emphasis mine} In fact, Jesus made this so clear that His disciples rejoiced in persecution they received due to obeying Him and sharing His word. > They took his advice; and after calling the apostles in, they flogged them and ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and *then* released them. So they went on their way from the presence of the Council, **rejoicing that they had been considered worthy to suffer shame for *His* name**. (Acts 5:40-41) {emphasis mine} Peter specifically warns believers to expect trials and hardship. > Dear friends, **do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you**. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. **If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed**, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. However, **if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God** that you bear that name. For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? And, > > “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved,\ > what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?” > > So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good. (1 Peter 4:12-19) {emphasis mine} Paul writes about begging God to take away a health issue. Eventually he accepted it as part of God’s plan for his life and boasted gladly in his hardship. > …Therefore, in order **to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn** in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times **I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you**, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore **I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me**. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:7b-10) {emphasis mine} No matter what hardships we experience in life, whether poverty or persecution or poor health or loss of a loved one or any other hardship, God is with us working everything for our good. > Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Just as it is written, > > “For Your sake we are being put to death all day long;\ > We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” > ****But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us**. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:35-39) {emphasis mine} I like to look at the story of Joseph as an example of God’s extraordinary plan in the life of a faithful believer. Joseph trusted and honored God. God had a plan for Joseph to be used to save the lives of his family and the people of the Middle East from famine, but God didn’t just instantly put Joseph in a position of power to help. He prepared Joseph and slowly moved him to where he needed to be. First Josephs brothers wanted to kill him out of jealousy, but God used greed to get them to sell Joseph as a slave instead. He orchestrated the right slave traders to walk by at the right time so that Joseph would wind up in the house of Potiphar, the Pharaoh’s guard. Then when Joseph acted honorably towards God, his master, and his master’s wife, Joseph was sent to jail for years. I’m sure Joseph was wondering why God would send him to prison for doing what was right, but it put him into the presence of the cupbearer of Pharaoh. A long time after correctly interpreting the cup bearer’s dream, Joseph was called up to interpret Pharaoh’s dream, put in charge of the famine preparation and became second in command after Pharaoh. Joseph, after years of slavery and jail time, was now the second most powerful man in the Middle East, if not the world. God had a plan, but it was hard to see until its completion. In the same way, Job lost his wealth, his children, his health, and his reputation, but remember that Satan had to get God’s permission before anything could be done to hurt Job. So many people today are blessed by seeing Job’s response to hardship and loss, by seeing Job’s faith, his struggle, and his submission to God’s plan. In this case God even gives Job more after this time of testing than he had before. When we experience hardship we need to know that God has a plan for our life. It may be something amazing here on Earth. It may be souls won for Christ. It may be to prepare us for heaven. Whatever the case, it is for our good. We don’t need to be ashamed that God would allow hardship. We grow most when we experience hardship. Our light shines brightest in darkness. > Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!\ > How unsearchable his judgments,\ > and his paths beyond tracing out!\ > “Who has known the mind of the Lord?\ > Or who has been his counselor?”\ > “Who has ever given to God,\ > that God should repay them?”\ > For from him and through him and for him are all things.\ > To him be the glory forever! Amen. (Romans 11:33-36) Trust Jesus

O Bitcoin e as criptomoedas surgiram como uma alternativa descentralizada ao sistema financeiro tradicional. No entanto, no Brasil, o **Sistema Financeiro Nacional (SFN)** tem adotado medidas para controlar e limitar a exposição de investidores e instituições a esses ativos. Neste artigo, exploraremos as principais resoluções e regulamentações que restringem o investimento em Bitcoin no país. ## **O Posicionamento do Banco Central do Brasil (Bacen)**  O Banco Central do Brasil (Bacen) e outros órgãos reguladores, como a **Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM)**, têm adotado uma postura cautelosa em relação às criptomoedas. ### **Resolução Bacen nº 4.753/2021** - Proíbe que instituições financeiras ofereçam serviços de criptomoedas em suas carteiras sem autorização prévia. - Restringe bancos e corretoras de operarem diretamente com criptoativos, limitando sua integração ao sistema financeiro tradicional. ### **Comunicado do Bacen sobre Riscos das Criptomoedas** - O Bacen já emitiu alertas sobre os riscos de volatilidade, fraudes e falta de garantias em investimentos em Bitcoin. - Recomenda que investidores tratem criptomoedas como ativos de alto risco. --- ## A CVM e as Restrições a Fundos de Investimento em Bitcoin A **CVM** tem sido mais restritiva que o Bacen em relação a produtos financeiros baseados em criptomoedas. ### **Deliberação CVM nº 175/2022** - Proíbe fundos de investimento no exterior (FIE) de alocarem mais de **10% do patrimônio** em criptomoedas. - Impede que fundos multimercados brasileiros tenham exposição direta a Bitcoin e outras criptomoedas. ### **Instrução CVM nº 555/2021** - Estabelece que **ETFs de Bitcoin** não podem ser comercializados no Brasil sem aprovação expressa da CVM. - Até hoje, nenhum ETF de criptomoeda foi aprovado no país. --- ## **Tributação e Controles da Receita Federal** Além das restrições do Bacen e da CVM, a **Receita Federal** impõe regras rígidas para transações em Bitcoin: ### **Instrução Normativa RFB nº 1.888/2019** - Obriga declaração de todas as operações em criptomoedas acima de **R$ 35 mil** por mês. - Tributa ganhos de capital em criptomoedas em **15% a 22,5%**, dependendo do valor. --- ## **O Bitcoin Sob Vigilância do SFN** O Sistema Financeiro Nacional tem adotado medidas para **limitar a adoção em massa do Bitcoin**, seja por meio de regulamentações rígidas, restrições a fundos ou alertas sobre riscos. Enquanto o mercado de criptomoedas cresce globalmente, no Brasil ainda há um **cenário de cautela e controle**, com o SFN buscando evitar que criptomoedas desafiem a hegemonia do sistema financeiro tradicional.

You can follow the work in progress here in this pull request [https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/68](https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/pull/68) on Github. Before my 3-month break (Dec/Jan/Feb) working on Nostr-PHP I started with the NIP-19 integration in October '24. Encoding and decoding the simple prefixes (`npub`, `nsec` and `note`) was already done in the first commits. Learn more about NIP-19 here: [https://nips.nostr.com/19](https://nips.nostr.com/19)  ### **TLV's** Things were getting more complicated with the other prefixes / identifiers defined in NIP-19: * `nevent` * `naddr` * `nprofile` This is because these identifiers contain (optional) metadata called Type-Lenght-Value aka TLV's. _When sharing a profile or an event, an app may decide to include relay information and other metadata such that other apps can locate and display these entities more easily._ _For these events, the contents are a binary-encoded list of_ `_TLV_` _(type-length-value), with_ `_T_` _and_ `_L_` _being 1 byte each (_`_uint8_`_, i.e. a number in the range of 0-255), and_ `_V_` _being a sequence of bytes of the size indicated by_ `_L_`_._ These possible standardized `TLV` types are: * `0`_:_ `special` * _depends on the bech32 prefix:_ * _for_ `nprofile` _it will be the 32 bytes of the profile public key_ * _for_ `nevent` _it will be the 32 bytes of the event id_ * _for_ `naddr`_, it is the identifier (the_ `"d"` _tag) of the event being referenced. For normal replaceable events use an empty string._ * `1`_:_ `relay` * _for_ `nprofile`_,_ `nevent` _and_  `naddr`_, optionally, a relay in which the entity (profile or event) is more likely to be found, encoded as ascii_ * _this may be included multiple times_ * `2`_:_ `author` * _for_ `naddr`_, the 32 bytes of the pubkey of the event_ * _for_ `nevent`_, optionally, the 32 bytes of the pubkey of the event_ * `3`_:_ `kind` * _for_ `naddr`_, the 32-bit unsigned integer of the kind, big-endian_ * _for_ `nevent`_, optionally, the 32-bit unsigned integer of the kind, big-endian_ These identifiers are formatted as bech32 strings, but are much longer than the package `bitwasp/bech32` (used in the library) for can handle for encoding and decoding. The bech32 strings handled by `bitwasp/bech32` are limited to a maximum length of 90 characters. Thanks to the effort of others (nostr:npub1636uujeewag8zv8593lcvdrwlymgqre6uax4anuq3y5qehqey05sl8qpl4 and nostr:npub1efz8l77esdtpw6l359sjvakm7azvyv6mkuxphjdk3vfzkgxkatrqlpf9s4) during my break, some contributions are made (modifiying the bech32 package supporting much longer strings, up to a max of 5000 characters). At this moment, I'm integrating this (mostly copy-pasting the stuff and refactoring the code): * [https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/issues/74](https://github.com/nostrver-se/nostr-php/issues/74) * [https://github.com/nostriphant/nip-19](https://github.com/nostriphant/nip-19) ### **So what's next?** * NIP-19 code housekeeping + refactoring * Prepare a new release with NIP-19 integration * Create documentation page how to use NIP-19 on [https://nostr-php.dev](https://nostr-php.dev)

I've always loved Westbrook. He plays so hard and does things through sheer force of will that no one else has ever been able to do. He's also the last guy you want on the court at the end of close games. No one has ever so reliably made poor choices in late game, or even just end of clock, situations. Here are some highlights from the epic Nuggets vs T-Wolves game, which Russ completely blew at the end. https://youtu.be/rgtzQxRpH6c I've said before that I think Russ' career +/- would be 4 points higher if coaches had never let him play at the ends of quarters. Translation for non-analytics nerds: Russ has blown virtually every final possession throughout his entire career. It's unbelievable. Is there anyone I'm overlooking as a worse clutch performer? originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/932077

Nostr is a decentralized, censorship-resistant social media protocol designed to give users control over online interactions without relying on central authorities. While its architecture offers notable advantages, it also introduces challenges, particularly concerning user anonymity, content moderation, and the dynamics of user influence.​ Anonymity and the Risk of Bullying Nostr's design allows users to create identities without traditional verification methods like email addresses or phone numbers. Instead, users generate a cryptographic key pair: a public key serving as their identifier and a private key for signing messages. This approach enhances privacy but can lead to the "online disinhibition effect," where individuals feel less accountable for their actions due to perceived anonymity. This phenomenon has been linked to increased instances of cyberbullying, as users may engage in behavior online that they would avoid in face-to-face interactions. ​ Influence Disparities Among Users In decentralized networks like Nostr, users with larger followings can have a more extensive reach, amplifying their messages across the network. This can create disparities where individuals with thousands of followers wield more influence than those with fewer connections. While this dynamic is not unique to Nostr, the protocol's structure may exacerbate the visibility gap between highly followed users and those with a smaller audience.​ Content Moderation and the Challenge of Deletion Due to Nostr's decentralized nature, content moderation and deletion present significant challenges. Removing content to multiple relays becomes complex once a user posts content to multiple relays, as each relay operates independently. Unlike centralized platforms where a post can be deleted universally, Nostr's architecture means that deleting a post from one relay doesn't ensure its removal from others. This persistence underscores the importance of thoughtful posting, as content may remain accessible indefinitely. ​ Mitigation Strategies and User Empowerment Despite these challenges, Nostr offers mechanisms to empower users to manage their experience. Clients can implement features allowing users to mute or block others, tailoring their interactions and content exposure. Additionally, some clients support user-led moderation, enabling individuals to label content as offensive or inappropriate, contributing to a community-driven approach to content management. ​ In summary, while Nostr's decentralized and anonymous framework promotes freedom and resistance to censorship, it also necessitates a proactive approach from users to navigate challenges related to anonymity, influence disparities, and content permanence. As the platform evolves, ongoing development and community engagement will be crucial in addressing these issues to foster a safe and equitable environment for all participants.

*April 2, 2025* Let’s be real: to-do lists are supposed to make life easier, but more often than not, they just stress us out. You write down everything you need to do—work tasks, personal errands, that call you’ve been meaning to make—and suddenly, your list is a mile long. Instead of feeling in control, you’re overwhelmed, staring at a jumble of tasks with no clear sense of where to start. So, why do most to-do lists increase stress, and how can we fix it? The answer lies in **timing**. --- ## The Stress Trap of Traditional To-Do Lists Most to-do lists fail because they simply dump every task you need to do without any sense of priority or timing. Imagine having: - “Finish project report” next to “Call Mom” next to “Fix car issue” Without guidance on when to tackle each task, your brain is left to endlessly loop through all the items—worrying that you’ll forget something or miss a deadline. This is partly due to the **Zeigarnik Effect**, a psychological phenomenon where unfinished tasks linger in your mind and create tension until they’re completed. When your list is a chaotic mix of urgent and non-urgent tasks, that tension turns into stress. You either freeze up or end up procrastinating. Plus, seeing tasks you can’t act on yet—like an evening errand when it’s only 9 AM—makes your list feel unmanageable, which kills motivation. --- ## Timing: The Game-Changer for Stress-Free Productivity What if your to-do list didn’t just tell you **what** to do, but also **when** to do it? By assigning each task a specific time window based on its urgency, you can focus on what’s relevant right now and let the rest wait their turn. This approach: - **Reduces mental clutter:** You see only the tasks you need to work on immediately. - **Eases stress:** Fewer irrelevant tasks mean less overwhelm. - **Provides a clear path forward:** You know exactly what to do next, making your day more manageable and progress more satisfying. --- ## How Task4Us Uses Timing to Reduce Stress At **Task4Us**, we’ve built our platform around the idea of timing with our **2-5 concept**. Here’s how it works: - **Assign Time Units:** Every task gets a time unit—days, weeks, or months—based on its urgency. - *Example:* “Submit a project draft” might be set as a daily task, while “catch up with friends” might be a weekly task. - **Act Within a 2-5 Window:** The 2-5 Rule ensures you act on a task within 2 to 5 of its time units. This rhythm ensures you’re working on tasks at the optimal moment—neither too early nor too late. - **Fix Mode for Date-Specific Tasks:** For tasks with a fixed due date (like birthdays or deadlines), Fix Mode ensures the task climbs your list as the date approaches, becoming your top task on the day. - **Mobile Optimization:** With our recent mobile updates, you can manage your tasks on the go, even on small screens, with a clean, easy-to-use design. --- ## Take Control of Your To-Do List By shifting the focus from merely listing tasks to timing them correctly, you can break the cycle of overwhelm and procrastination. Instead of a never-ending list of tasks, you’re guided to work on the **right task at the right time**—and that makes all the difference. --- *Now, tell me—what’s one task you’ve been postponing for no reason? Share your story in the comments and let’s motivate each other to get it done!* ---

Wenn irgendein weltpolitisches Thema auf den Tisch kommt, wird zumeist erst einmal gefragt, ob du dafür oder dagegen bist und auf welcher Seite du dich befindest. Das macht es einfacher, dich als Freund oder Feind einzusortieren. So wird das Leben übersichtlicher und man muss nicht in die Tiefe gehen und sich mit lästigen Details auseinandersetzen. Man muss auch nicht verreisen um sich ein Bild zu machen. Dafür gibt es ja die Tagesschau. Klassisches Beispiel: Ich war vor Kurzem mit einigen Freunden essen. Einer berichtete entsetzt: „Der Putin hat die Heimatstadt von Selenski angegriffen!“ &#x20;Ich versuchte mir das bildlich vorzustellen und kam zu dem Schluss, das „der Putin“ wahrscheinlich Verstärkung dabei hatte. Und ausgerechnet nachdem Trump und dessen Flügelmann Vance den armen Wolodymyr rund gemacht hatten, greift der böse Imperator dessen Heimatstadt an. Das ist fies! Das macht „der Putin“ wahrscheinlich immer so, wenn er jemandem eins auswischen will. Die Heimatstadt angreifen! Ganz gleich, ob es strategisch gerade Sinn macht oder nicht. "Der Putin" ist halt ein Teufel. [Telegramkanal RBM](https://t.me/radio_berliner_morgenroete_de) [Radio Berliner Morgenröte auf X](https://x.com/RBM_Schindler) Ich denke viele gucken einfach zu viele qualitativ minderwertige Spielfilme und können Fiktion und Realität nicht mehr voneinander unterscheiden. Möglicherweise meinen sie auch, weil sie die Handlung eines Kriegsfilmes gerafft haben, verstehen sie einen Krieg. <https://www.eisbrenner.de/produkt-kategorie/buch/> <https://befreiung.org/> Mein Gesprächspartner Tino Eisbrenner hat keine Sightseeing Tour durch Moskau gemacht, sondern ist in Land und Leute regelrecht eingetaucht. Außerdem kommt seine Schwiegermutter aus Russland. Da ist man dem ganzen auch menschlich viel näher und bekommt man ganz andere Einblicke als die, die einem von der Tagesschau gewährt werden. Tino ist als Friedensmusiker viel im Osten unterwegs, unter anderem auch in Georgien, Weißrussland und auf der Krim. Er spricht mit Politikern, Künstlern, Journalisten, Taxifahrern und Dissidenten. Und viele fragen ihn: „Was ist eigentlich mit den Deutschen los?“ Gute Frage! Was ist eigentlich mit uns los? Wir senden unsere Volksvertreter in die Welt hinaus, damit sie Staatsoberhäuptern aus Ländern - die um ein Vielfaches umfangreicher an Fläche und Einwohnerzahl sind und eine komplett andere Kulturgeschichte haben - damit sie denen erklären können wie man seinen Job macht. Wahrscheinlich in dem irrwitzigen Glauben, dass sie selbst ihren Job tadellos und vorbildlich ausführen. **Spenden nehmen wir entweder mit dem Paypal Button am Ende** **[unserer Webseite](https://radio-berliner-morgenroete.de/)** **<https://radio-berliner-morgenroete.de/>** **oder per Überweisung aufs Bankkonto: DE93 1001 1001 2624 3740 74 entgegen.** Wir sind aber nicht nur verantwortlich für unsere politische Führung, sondern auch für unseren Umgang miteinander. Denn im „Großen“ gilt dasselbe wie im „Kleinen“! Man sollte erst mal bei sich selbst schauen wo es hakt und dann miteinander ins Gespräch gehen. Der Mangel an Realitätssinn und Konfliktfähigkeit zieht sich durch alle Schichten unserer Bevölkerung. Deswegen sagt Radio Berliner Morgenröte: „Wenn ihr Frieden wollt, fangt in Deutschland an und wenn ihr euch eine Meinung über Russland oder China bilden wollt, dann fahrt einfach mal dorthin und redet mit den Leuten, So wie Tino.

 When selling goods or services, you might want to consider using an auction format to maximize your profits and customer satisfaction. For those of us that don't know, selling through auction is the way where the price of the item is determined by the bids of the buyers, rather than by the seller. It's an interesting approach when trying to attract more buyers and generate more exposure. It can generate a buzz around your item and business, drawing attention from potential buyers who might not otherwise be interested, with any healthier word-of-mouth marketing and social media sharing. Lately I've been reserching on this topic, thinking on how it could be implemented here on SN. Exploring other forums with more and fewer functionalities, have noticed that some really dive in with years of experience, trust build systems and the ability to offer this service with honesty and confidence. It's curious to see how all this started back in Babylon around 500 B.C., with brides as earliest known auctions “items” sold to grooms through descending bids. I'll leave you to research and discover _why_. Hopefully, ~AGORA auctions will be less problematic! # How do we reach Online Auctions perfection Firstly, I want to give you some history about “remote” auctions and how they have been evolving together with technological innovations. When TV and telephones were widely adopted in the west early in the late 80s, Nigel Myers, Director for Cox Automotive, describes the shifting mindset towards technology as: _“a time when people were really beginning to grasp what technology could do and that traditional ways of working were going to be challenged. We adopted the view that we must embrace these emerging technologies before our competitors. We considered it essential to remain at the forefront of the industry._”  AuctionVision in 1991 was the industry’s first successful intent into _“virtual auctions”_, it offered the ability to buy and sell vehicles remotely for the very first time via satellite television. It revolutionized the industry that had remained largely the same for decades and provided the foundations for what we know as online auctions today. Anyone familiar with the telethon events that were popular in the 80s and 90s can picture the scene[^1]. These auctions eventually moved and take more and more place through text-based groups and discussion lists. Yes, those times when cool UIs were not a thing, and one had to connect through the telephone line. Despite the technological challenges, such trades witnessed a huge popularity in those days and seeing the flourishing success of online trading, entrepreneurs began to realize the tremendous potential of online auctions. They understood the global reach online auction markets could have. _{Ebay's AuctionWeb.com website launch in 1996}  It was in 1995 that the first simple online auction website was made available by Pierre Omidyar, In September 1997, the portal was officially renamed from AuctionWeb.com to eBay.com.[^2] Being the first such venture in the market, eBay had many advantages, which they utilized fully quickly becaming the biggest player in this industry. They have maintained their reputation till today, however, various websites soon came up and emerged as strong competitors to eBay. The leading competitors were Yahoo! Auctions and Amazon.com. Today we see an explosion of auction' website that cover specific markets, from cars to RE, art, clothes, snickers, Pokémon's cards , NFTs and who know how many more. # The various Auctions Formats Together with technological evolution, auctions have been adapting and evolving to market request satisfying specific needs. Let's break down the various types of auctions formats to evaluate which one could be better suited for the AGORA marketplace. #### English Auction Running with ascending bids, this is the most known and adopted worldwide. An initial value is usually defined by the auctioneer as a starting bid, meaning no less than that amount will be accepted. Bidders openly compete by raising the price with bids until the highest bid wins. It's one of the oldest formats, dating back to ancient Rome (literally called _auctus_), where soldiers auctioned war loot. Modern English auctions quickly evolved in 17th-century England for antiques and art: the Mona Lisa was almost sold in 1959 but was withdrawn when bidding stalled at $5 million (a fraction of its value today). I see this as a perfect match for our case, as it's the easiest to run manually, bids could be simply public comments for the auctioneer to easily track progress and evaluate the winner. It could be left open until no one else set more bids, or ending on a defied time set as deadline. #### Dutch Auction It is not a case, it runs with descending bids. Named as Dutch auction because it was firstly adopted in 17th-cetury's Holland to sell big quantities of perishable items like tulip bulbs (yes, that tulip mania), that if not sold quickly would end up being unsellable. The auctioneer, in this case, sets an intentionally high initial price, bids value were publicly dropped until a buyer screamed _“Mij!”_ (_Mine!_ in English) to confirm interest and stop the auctioneer lowering the price more to have more bidders interested. Today, tech helps with that: digital clocks sync with global logistics. Flowers bought by 10 AM are shipped by noon and sold in NYC by the next day. The Aalsmeer complex is 1.6 million m² (≈200 soccer fields)[^3]. Forklifts zip through 100+ km of corridors, selling over 12 billion flowers a year. Nearly 80% of global flowers, with some lots dropping from €10 to €0.50 in minutes when bidders sense oversupply. They are also called _Clock Auction_, as the price drops by the second. Bidders just need to simply press a button and get the item. _{Auction board from the Aalsmeer in Holland}  This would be a bit harder to run here, as it would be the auctioneer making lower and lower offers in the in comments. Bidders stay unnotably silent until interested. But the Auctioner couls also be the only spectator... Fun Fact: Google’s 2004 IPO tried a Dutch auction to “democratize” share pricing, it was probably more a sealed-bid auction, but anyway, some say it wasn't a success. #### Sealed-Bid Auction First higher price win: due to this nature, it's probably obvious, it was popularized by governments, specifically for procurement contracts. For example, the U.S. Treasury Inc. has used it since the 1800s to sell bonds to bidders that privately submit offers. The auctioneer reserve the right to close receiving offers at a certain time, or when enough offers have been received to be able to select the highest(s) or the most interesting one(s). As you can understand, bidders often suffer the _winner’s curse_, most of the time ending up overpaying due to the secrecy detail. We cannot sto auctionees from posting these, but from a bidder or buyer perspective, I'd advise avoiding the participation on this format on SN. It is much riskier for the bidder and definitely doesn't much our value of transparency. Just mentioning as it is part of my research. #### Vickrey Auction (Second-Price Sealed Bid) Similar to the Sealed-bid auction, with the only difference that the winner pays the second-highest bid, for example, if you bid 0.05 BTC, and next highest is 0.04 BTC, you win the auction, but you pay 0.04 BTC. This approach, born as improvement of the previous one, incentivize to bid the true max value without penalty for honesty. Named after William Vickrey, a Nobel-winning economist who designed it in 1961 to incentivize a more truthful bidding format. A practical example are the Government (again) Spectrum Sales, where FCC uses Vickrey-inspired formats to allocate radio frequencies more fairly and try to avoid bid inflation. Good fit for stackers? Definitely not! #### Other Formats & Variations Along the centuries, auctions have evolved. Those mentioned above are the most common and adopted. Other really specific formats have been designed to fit specific markets or occasions. For example, **Silent Auctions** are an English Auction's variation, with the only difference that bids are anonymously offered in writing. Mostly used for fundraising and Ads placements, where the bidders prefer to keep certain levels of privacy. **Penny (or Incremental) Auction** is one where participants pay (historically was just 1 penny to join in, from here the name of the format) to place bids. The timer resets with each bid. Highly risky when applied to online auctions because bidders need to pay for participating. I'll avoid mentioning controversies and scams in history related to this format. Just note down that, to participate, you must really know and have full trust in the auctioneer or the people selling the items. **Reserve Auction** is where the seller or auctioneer sets a hidden minimum price; if unmet, the item will remain unsold. This could fit here: an auctioneer maybe just need to clearly state “Reserve Met” or “Reserve NOT met” publicly to close the auction, without the need to publicly disclose it in the initial post. Here a simpler table comparison with evaluation criteria for possible SN'~AGORA implementation | _Format | _Transparency | _{Trust Needed} | _Complexity | _{Fraud Risk} | _{SN Feasibility} | _{Best For} | |------------------------|------------------|-------------------|----------------|----------------|--------------------|---------------------------------| | _English | _High | _Low | _Low | _Moderate | _{✅ High} | _{Common goods} | | _No-Reserve | _High | _Low | _Low | _High* | _{✅ High} | _{Quick sales, liquidations} | | _Reserve | _High | _Medium† | _Low | _Low | _{✅ High} | _{High-value/rare items} | | _Dutch | _Medium | _High‡ | _High | _Moderate | _{⚠️ Medium} | _{Bulk items, time-sensitive sales} | | _Silent | _Medium | _Medium | _Low | _Moderate | _{✅ High} | _{Charity, small-scale auctions} | | _Sealed-Bid | _Low | _{Very High} | _Medium | _High | _{❌ Low} | _{Private sales (niche use)} | | _Vickrey | _Low | _{Very High} | _High | _High | _{❌ Low} | _{Theory-driven experiments} | | _Penny | _High | _{Very High} | _{Very High} | _{Very High} | _{❌ Low} | _{(Avoid – predatory by design)} | ``` Notes: - *No-Reserve: High fraud risk if starting bid is too low. - †Reserve: Transparency is higher if the reserve is disclosed upfront. - ‡Dutch: Requires strict timekeeping. ``` #### Would the AGORA succeed? The challenge to run and monitor auctions on SN still unsolved, at least for me. Considering there's not yet a publicly available rating to identify users' trust within the community, nor a private messaging or escrow service, I'll try my best to find the right matches and offer few options to inspire stackers. With further research, and I'll put together a draft guide to see what you all think about it. Ideally, receive feedback and together make this happening, fostering a more free and open market incentivizing a wider bitcoin circular economy. Thanks for reading until here, hope you find it entertaining. I'll leave you with an ending fun fact: In the 1800s, cattle auctions in Dodge City in Kansas used English-style bids, with cowboys literally _shouting_ offers. Deals were sealed with a handshake and whiskey!

## Physical prototyping 3D printers have evolved as useful tools for rapid prototyping of physical products for inspiration and demonstration purposes. Nowadays people also use them for hobbyist endeavors. They create nice little items for pure enjoyment or very simple substitution parts that can be used regardless of industrial precision and material limitations. ## Prototypers of Ideas Similarly with LLMs, you can bounce ideas off them to better understand your own thinking and also let them generate variations of ideas. They provide inspiration, summaries, and proof-of-concept boilerplates. They are rapid prototypers for and of your ideas, creating a feedback loop. However, to use LLMs successfully, people must understand that LLMs cannot and will never discover key insights. They are not creative in a human sense, just like 3D printers cannot produce a real car. From engineering to art and business ideas, people use tools for almost all phases. The key innovation of LLMs is that they offer an effective tool to iterate faster in the ideation phase. And yes, that's true of coding too. The code that LLMs generate is not production-ready, but it is a good starting point. Beware of using the prototype as the final product, as it will inevitably backfire. Use LLMs where their high-frequency but low-quality output is justified. Situations where low-quality boilerplate makes sense include experiments and other instances like code snippets, text summaries, sketches, demo videos, mockups, etc. So, take your key idea and start the conversation. Apply critical thinking to identify where the answers lack important aspects and make mistakes, but most importantly, learn how to formulate your questions better. ## Economic Impact 3D printers lower the barrier to entry in the manufacturing of physical products. LLMs, on the other hand, lower the barrier to generating useful ideas. That is to say, they lower the barrier to produce anything and everything because ideas are the basis of any product. This has a deflationary impact and, in my estimation, will further lower the need for mediocre, unimaginative people across the board. It's the bureaucrats' nightmare. Another impactful aspect of LLMs is that they are very effective learning tools, just like 3D printers. Learning in a feedback loop used to be available only by hiring a human. Now that is one prompt and a few sats away. ## Progress LLMs need "quality data" to improve, i.e., more human insight and true creativity. Therefore, they feed on open-source. Closed-source proprietary information and "intellectual property" slow their progress, but not for long. Humans, overall, yearn for innovation more than they fear censorship and punishment. It's another Pandora's box, and the effects will never be reversed. People are essentially and foremost explainers of the world, creative innovators. If you ask me, the human touch will be necessary at least until we have true AGI, and the path LLMs are on right now can never achieve that, not in a million years. I agree with David Deutsch's take on this: To produce real AGI, we must first crack serious concepts like how Meaning, Consciousness, Creativity, and Free Will work. We don't know how far we are from that, but it's not to be found along the path of what we call AI today. If you are striving to become a better version of yourself and learn every day, rest assured: LLMs are your leverage. Otherwise, you will need some fiat authority, like the state today, to force others to value your work while it has an overall negative impact (90% in that category in my estimation). People like that need a shift of perspective or will suffer the consequences. Keep printing ideas and execute on them! Learn and repeat. The path to success. #llm #ai #agi #3dp #programming

Proper nutrition plays a huge role in maintaining the health and well-being of seniors, especially those with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. A balanced diet helps boost cognitive function, maintain strength, and prevent complications like dehydration or weight loss. At leading Alzheimer’s care communities, every meal is carefully planned to support brain health and overall wellness. Let’s take a closer look at why nutrition is so important in **[https://villagegreenalzheimerscare.com/kingwood/]()**, and how meals are tailored to meet the needs of memory care residents. ## The Power of Home-Cooked, Nutritious Meals For seniors in memory care, food isn’t just about staying full—it’s about fueling the body and mind. A well-balanced diet can improve mood, boost energy, and even slow cognitive decline. **✔ Fresh, Wholesome Ingredients ** * Meals in assisted living communities are made with fresh vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. * Omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamin-rich foods are included to support brain health. * Processed foods and excess sugars are limited to reduce inflammation and maintain stable energy levels. **✔ Balanced and Consistent Meal Schedules ** * Seniors with dementia thrive on routine, and meal times are scheduled at the same time every day. * Regular eating habits help stabilize blood sugar levels and prevent mood swings. * Meals are prepared to be easily digestible and full of essential nutrients. **✔ The Comfort of Home-Cooked Meals ** * Many seniors find comfort in familiar flavors and recipes that remind them of home. * Meals are often served in a family-style dining setting, encouraging social interaction. * The warm, inviting atmosphere makes eating enjoyable and stress-free. Proper nutrition is the foundation of good health and memory care, but hydration and snacks also play a crucial role. ## The Importance of Hydration, Snacks, and a Balanced Diet Dehydration is a common risk for seniors with Alzheimer’s, as they may forget to drink water or fail to recognize thirst cues. Staying hydrated and eating nutrient-rich snacks throughout the day keeps seniors feeling their best. **✔ Encouraging Proper Hydration ** * Water, herbal teas, and fruit-infused drinks are provided throughout the day. * Hydrating foods like soups, watermelon, and cucumbers help boost water intake. * Caregivers remind and encourage residents to drink fluids regularly. **✔ Nutritious Snack Options ** Light snacks help maintain energy levels and prevent malnutrition. Yogurt, nuts, smoothies, and whole-grain crackers are offered between meals. Seniors with chewing difficulties can enjoy soft options like applesauce or pudding. **✔ Creating a Balanced Diet for Dementia Care ** * High-protein meals keep muscles strong and support healing. * Fiber-rich foods improve digestion and prevent constipation. * A mix of healthy fats, carbohydrates, and proteins ensures steady energy throughout the day. When seniors have difficulty chewing or swallowing, their meals need extra modifications. ## Meal Modifications for Swallowing Difficulties and Dietary Restrictions As dementia progresses, some seniors struggle with chewing and swallowing. Memory care communities adjust meals to ensure safety without sacrificing taste or nutrition. **✔ Soft and Pureed Meal Options ** * Foods are softened, mashed, or pureed to prevent choking risks. * Thickened liquids help those who have trouble swallowing thin beverages. * Meals still include seasonings and variety to keep them flavorful and appealing. **✔ Adjusting to Dietary Needs ** * Diabetic-friendly meals are available for residents with blood sugar concerns. * Low-sodium diets help those with heart conditions. * Caregivers monitor food intake to ensure residents are eating enough. At assisted living in Kingwood, TX, these meal adjustments are made with care and expertise, ensuring every senior receives the nutrition they need. ### Nutritious Meals = A Better Quality of Life A well-balanced diet does more than just keep seniors full—it supports brain function, enhances energy, and improves overall well-being. At **[https://villagegreenalzheimerscare.com/dallas/]()** communities, every meal is designed to meet the unique needs of memory care residents. From hydration reminders to customized meal plans, assisted living communities take the stress out of nutrition for both seniors and their families. If you’re looking for a place where your loved one can enjoy healthy, home-cooked meals in a safe and caring environment, an assisted living community in Kingwood, TX, might be the perfect choice.

&#x20; *** **Autor:** **[Mathias Bröckers.](https://www.broeckers.com/)** *Dieser Beitrag wurde mit dem **[Pareto-Client](https://pareto.space/read)** geschrieben. Sie finden alle Texte der Friedenstaube und weitere Texte zum Thema Frieden **[hier.](https://pareto.space/read?category=friedenstaube)*** *** Mein Vater Walter Bröckers (1922-1993) wurde mit 18 Jahren zur Marine eingezogen. Als ich ihn mit jugendlich erwachtem kritischen Geist fragte, wie viele von den 20 Millionen ermordeten Russen er eigentlich auf dem Gewissen hätte, meinte er: *„Ach, ich hab**’*** *den ganze Krieg eigentlich nur Kartoffeln geschält.“*&#x20; ### "Die lassen uns hier verrecken..." Als Gefreiter der Marine war er von 1942-1944 auf der Krim, in der Hafenkommandantur 17 in Sewastopol, stationiert und auf einem Minensuchboot im Schwarzen Meer unterwegs. Ihm war die Kombüse zugeteilt worden, wo er für die 11-köpfige Besatzung kochte, bis im Frühjahr 1944 ihr Schiff von einem britischen Bomber getroffen wurde und sank. Die Besatzung, die noch einen SOS-Funkspruch und ihren Standort nicht weit von der Küste durchgegeben hatte, wartete auf Wrackteilen ihres Bootes schwimmend auf Rettung – die aber nicht kam. Nach vielen Stunden sagte Walter zu einem Kameraden: *„Die lassen uns hier verrecken, wir müssen zur Küste schwimmen.“* Nur weil sie das tatsächlich schafften, konnte ich zehn Jahre später auf die Welt kommen und mir als kleiner Junge den wandernden Bombensplitter in seinem Oberschenkel angucken. Dass der Kommandierende des Hafens, zu dem sie sich geschleppt hatten, dann (wegen der britischen Lufthoheit) verweigerte, ein Rettungsboot zu den havarierten Kameraden zu entsenden, machte aus dem damals 22-jährigen Walter Bröckers einen Kriegsgegner und Anti-Militaristen. Und es bescherte ihm, was man das „Trauma des Überlebenden“ nennt, der sich unterbewusst schuldig fühlt, weil er seine Kameraden nicht retten konnte. Als mich dann die Bilder aus dem Krieg in Vietnam mit der für mich nicht nachvollziehbaren Begründung, dass „wir“ ein Volk von Reisbauern in Asien bombardieren müssen, um Deutschland vor dem „Kommunismus“ zu retten, zu dem Entschluss brachten, den Kriegsdienst zu verweigern, unterstützte er dieses Vorhaben. Und war damit in einer Minderheit, denn die meisten Väter meiner Freunde fanden ein Vierteljahrhundert nach Kriegsende immer noch (oder schon wieder?), dass militärische Zucht und Ordnung für langhaarige Studenten und „Gammler” genau das Richtige sei.  ### Krieg ist eine Gaunerei Mir hingegen erschien die Kriegsdienstverweigerung immer richtiger, je mehr ich Politik und Geschichte studierte und feststellte, dass Kriege grundsätzlich nicht aus vernünftigen, „gerechten“ Gründen begonnen werden, sondern es immer  darum geht, Macht- und Geschäftsinteressen mit Gewalt durchzusetzen. Das veranlasste 1935 den damals höchstdekorierten Soldaten der Vereinigten Staaten, General Smedley D. Butler (1881–1940) zu der Streitschrift „Krieg ist eine Gaunerei“ („War Is a Racket“) und der bemerkenswerten Feststellung:&#x20; > *„Es gibt keine Gaunerei, die die militärische Bande nicht auf Lager hat. Sie hat ihre ›Spitzel‹, die mit dem Finger auf die Feinde zeigen, sie hat ihre ›Muskelmänner‹ zur Vernichtung der Feinde, sie hat ein ›Gehirn‹, das die Kriegsvorbereitungen trifft, und einen ›Big Boss‹, den supranationalistischen Kapitalismus.“* \ Hohe Militärs, die ihr Handwerk derart schonungslos beschreiben, sind selten, doch die Chronologie der Kriege, die von den Nachfolgern Butlers in der Rolle des Muskelmanns bis auf den heutigen Tag geführt werden, ist eindeutig. Und die Vereinigten Staaten sind aktuell in dieser Hinsicht nicht die einzige, aber die mit Abstand eifrigste und erfolgreichste Nation, mit Feindbildern und Angstmache die Betrugsmasche Krieg am Laufen zu halten. Der permanente Krieg treibt die größte Profitmaschine des Landes an – *Nervi belli pecunia infinita, „*die Lebenskräfte des Krieges sind unerschöpfliche Geldmittel“, wusste schon Cicero.&#x20; Mit diesen Mitteln und Medien, die mühelos immer neue Feindbilder und Bedrohungs-Szenarien schaffen können, ist diese Maschine zu einer Art perpetuum mobile geworden. Das sich, um permanente Angriffskriege zu legitimieren, eine exzellente Erzählung zurechtgelegt hat, nach der andere Länder nur deshalb bombardiert werden, um ihnen „Freiheit“ und „Demokratie“ zu bringen – oder indem wir den Angriff zum prophylaktischen Verteidigungskrieg erklären. Weil Mobilisierung zur Verteidigung gegen einen Angreifer, der nicht angreift, schwierig ist, muss dazu sein aggressives Potenzial beschworen und die von ihm ausgehende Gefahr in schrecklichen Farben ausgemalt werden. Hier kommt dann die Propaganda mit ihren Dämonisierungen ins Spiel: Barbaren, Hunnen, Achse des Bösen, Hitler (wahlweise auch Assad, Gaddafi, Putin etc. pp.) – lauter gefährliche Teufel, gegen die man sich „natürlich“ verteidigen müsse.&#x20;  *** **DIE FRIEDENSTAUBE FLIEGT AUCH IN IHR POSTFACH!** ***[Hier](https://pareto.space/u/friedenstaube@pareto.space)*** *können Sie die Friedenstaube abonnieren und bekommen die Artikel zugesandt, vorerst für alle kostenfrei, wir starten gänzlich ohne Paywall.

Weil das zu den Standardfragen gehörte, auf die ich dank einem Handbuch für die Kriegsdienstverweigerung vorbereitet war, hatte ich darauf eine unverfängliche Antwort parat und mir aus taktischen Gründen auch den Hinweis auf den Helden meiner Jugend, Muhamad Ali, verkniffen.&#x20; Der hatte den Einzug zum Kriegsdienst in Vietnam mit dem Satz verweigert: „Kein Vietnamese hat mich je Nigger genannt“. Auch mir hatten Vietnamesen, Chinesen, Russen, Araber usw. nie etwas Böses getan und irgendeinen Grund geliefert, mich bedroht zu fühlen und für einen Kampf zu rüsten. Stattdessen hatte mich Donovans „Universal Soldier“ überzeugt – „Without him all that killing can‘t go on…“ – dass es das einzig Vernünftige ist, bei diesem grausamen Spiel nicht mit zu machen. Und dass es dem berühmten kategorischen Imperativ entspricht, von dem ich mit 17 schon gehört hatte: Wenn alle so handeln wie ich, gibt‘s keinen Krieg mehr. Wer das naiv oder „Vulgärpazifismus“ (R.Habeck) nennt, irrt sich, denn es geht gar nicht anders. Solange sich Menschen „kriegstüchtig“ machen lassen, solange wird es Kriege geben, solange sie sich Angst machen lassen, dass ein Teufel sie bedroht, solange werden sie „Verteidigungsbereitschaft“ zeigen, und wenn er nicht kommt – was das Geschäftsmodell Krieg ruiniert – werden sie außer Landes geschickt, um ihn vorsorglich vor Ort zu erledigen. Und solange sie dieses grausame Spiel nicht durchschauen und aussteigen, solange wird es immer weitergehen… \ Und wenn jetzt, wie damals bei der KdV-Verhandlung, ein „Ja, aber…?“ und die Frage folgt, was denn mit meinem Haus, Hof, Vorgarten ist, wenn „der Russe kommt“, kann ich nur mit der Schulter zucken. Solange ich nicht mit Hass und Raketen auf ihn ziele, solange wird er mich in Ruhe lassen. Wir brauchen kein pseudo-prophylaktisches „Verteidigungsbündins“, keine militärische Allianz, sondern Blockfreiheit und Neutralität. Und eine realistische Friedensperspektive für die kommende multipolare Welt. Liebe deinen Nachbarn, aber reiß den Zaun nicht ein! Ich bin froh, dass mein Vater die Hetze zum Krieg gegen Russland, die derzeit aus allen Kanälen dröhnt, nicht mehr erleben musste. Er wäre verzweifelt, auch an der Partei, der CDU, die er immer gewählt hatte. Als ihm Ende der 1980er Jahre ein Freund aus der Landesregierung telefonisch mitteilte, dass er das „Bundesverdienstkreuz am Bande“  für seine Verdienste als Journalist bekommen sollte, hatte er geantwortet, dass ihn das „nur am Rande“ interessiert und man sich Orden doch „an den Hut stecken könnte”. Was am anderen Ende der Leitung als Unzufriedenheit mit dem Grad der Auszeichnung interpretiert wurde. Einige Tage später ein weiterer Anruf: „Du, Walter, wir haben das klargemacht, du kriegst das \`Bundesverdienstkreuz Erster Klasse\`!“ Welch selbiges ich geerbt habe. Er hat sich nichts daraus gemacht. Ehrgeiz war nie sein Ding und stolz war er allenfalls darauf, es in fünf Jahren Krieg mit Kartoffelschälen nur zum Obergefreiten der Marine gebracht zu haben.&#x20; Oder, um es mit einem seiner Lieblingsphilosophen Blaise Pascal zu sagen, dessen „Gedanken“ er 1947 gelesen hat und deren zerfledderte Ausgabe ich ebenfalls hüte: > *„Alles Unheil dieser Welt kommt aus der Ursache, dass die Menschen nicht still in ihrer Kammer sitzen können.“* *** *Mathias Bröckers, Jahrgang 1954, ist Autor und freier Journalist.

Ranks (rows): Numbered *1* to *8* (White’s side = 1, Black’s = 8). > Notation: Squares are file + rank (e.g., e4, a7). 3. **Piece Placement** **Black (Top):** a8: Rook b8: Knight c8: Bishop d8: Queen e8: King f8: Bishop g8: Knight h8: Rook Rank 7: All pawns (a7-h7) **White (Bottom):** a1: Rook b1: Knight c1: Bishop d1: Queen e1: King f1: Bishop g1: Knight h1: Rook Rank 2: All pawns (a2-h2) > Quick Tip: Queens start on their color (Whiteon d1, Black on d8). *********************** ## **Checkmate, stalemate & draws** Chess is a two-player strategy game where the ultimate goal is to **checkmate** your opponent’s king. However, games can also end in a **stalemate** or **draw** under specific conditions. 1. **Checkmate (Winning the Game)** - Definition: The enemy king is in check (under attack) and has no legal moves to escape. - Result: The game ends immediately—the player delivering checkmate wins. 1. **Stalemate (Draw)** - Definition: The player whose turn it is has no legal moves, but their king is not in check. - Result: The game is a draw (no winner). > Common Causes: >- *A lone king with no moves left.* >- *Poor pawn structure blocking all options.* 3. **Other Draws** Games can also end in a draw due to: - **Insufficient Material** - Only kings remain. - King + bishop vs. king (no possible checkmate). - **Threefold Repetition** - The same position occurs 3 times (with the same player to move). - **50-Move Rule** - No pawn moves or captures in 50 consecutive moves (by both players). - **Agreement** - Players mutually agree to a draw. Key differences: | Term | King in Check? | Legal Moves? | Result | | --------- | -------------- | ------------ | -------- | | Checkmate | Yes | No | Win/Loss | | Stalemate | No | No | Draw | | Draw | N/A | N/A | Tie | **************************************************** ## **Chess history** 1. **Ancient Origins (6th Century)** - Birthplace: Northern India (as Chaturanga), meaning "four divisions" (infantry, cavalry, elephants, chariots—early versions of pawns, knights, bishops, rooks). - Spread: Reached Persia as Shatranj by 600 AD, where key rules (like "check" and "checkmate") emerged. > Fun fact: "Checkmate" comes from Persian "Shah Mat" ("the king is helpless"). 2. **Medieval Europe (9th–15th Century)** - Rebranding: Arabs brought chess to Spain by 1000 AD; Europeans adapted pieces to feudal society: Elephants → Bishops Viziers → Queens (weak at first—could only move one square!) - Major Change: By 1475, the queen became the most powerful piece ("Mad Queen Chess"), speeding up the game. 3. **Modern Chess (1850–Present)** - Standardization: First official world championship (1886, Wilhelm Steinitz vs. Johannes Zukertort). - Computers: IBM’s Deep Blue defeated Garry Kasparov in 1997, revolutionizing AI. - Today: Online platforms (Chess.com, Lichess) and pop culture (The Queen’s Gambit) fuel a global boom. >Did You Know? > > - The longest possible chess game is 5,949 moves (theoretical limit). > > - The longest recorded game was 269 moves, 1989 Nikolić vs. Arsović. > > - The oldest recorded chess opening (1.e4) appears in a 1490 Spanish manuscript. #chess #education #elsalvador #chesselsalvador #somachess #article #soma

 ## **"It Takes a Village"** …But what if the "village" is a system that prioritizes obedience over curiosity, grades over growth, and rigid curriculums over real-world learning? For decades, we’ve accepted a model where kids spend hours a day passively absorbing information in classrooms, where their worth is measured by standardized tests rather than their ability to _think_, _adapt_, or _create_. Meanwhile, the tools to revolutionize learning - technology, connectivity, and decentralized knowledge - sit in our pockets, dismissed as "distractions" rather than leveraged as liberation. **The Paradox of Progress** We live in an era of unprecedented access to information. Yet, our education systems cling to industrial-era ideals, villainizing screens instead of teaching **how to wield them wisely**. Yes, mindless screen time harms—but so does _mindless schooling_. The real failure? **Not preparing learners to navigate, critique, and contribute to the world they actually live in.** **A different approach** soma is an experiment in **self-directed, community-rooted learning**. It asks: - What if education _integrated_ with life instead of interrupting it? - What if "success" meant **mastery driven by curiosity**, not compliance? - What if technology connected learners to mentors, resources, and real-world problems - not just apps that mimic worksheets? This isn’t about abandoning theory or expertise. It’s about **flipping the script**: - **Empiric learning** comes first (doing, trying, failing, exploring). - This is where physical spaces thrive - **quilombos**, workshops, community gardens. Where we take responsibility for our shared world. - **Theoretical depth** follows _when the learner chooses it_ - fueled by a desire to go further. - This is where our virtual spaces shine to guarantee accessibility: **as tool, not a privilege**. - Tech is **recreation, not a crutch** - the spice, not the meal. ********** **A call for villages, not factories** soma imagines communities where learning is **an act of devotion** - to exploration, to curiosity, to the sacred cycle of trying, failing, and trying again. Where you learn **because you want to - to better your surroundings**, not because you were told to. > Where a child’s obsession with ants leads them to a biologist’s fieldwork _and_ a poet’s metaphor - because both are natural extensions of wonder. > Where a teen building a game pursues storytelling, math, and ethics **on their own terms**, stitching knowledge together like patchwork quilt. > Where we see learning happening in parks, in makerspaces and on screens - used intentionally. This is education **returned to its human rhythm**: urgent, messy, and alive. --- **Join the experiment** This is just the start. soma is a **provocation, a prototype, and an open invitation** to rethink how we learn. **Let’s stop preparing kids for a world that no longer exists.** ➡️ _Follow updates, share your ideas, or tell us: What does your ideal "village" look like?_ nostr:npub1hgmdpalp9tz37vh9kxx49fm5pl75w6vwek2r80r20x2stnvq9jaq705r99 #longform #article #education #elsalvador #communities #decentralized

"ผลิตผลทางเศรษฐกิจที่เพิ่มขึ้น เป็นประโยชน์กับทุกคนเสมอ ไม่ว่าในทางใดก็ทางหนึ่ง" เป็นโพสของอาจารย์พิริยะ ที่เรียกได้ว่าคือ “หลักการพื้นฐาน” ของเสรีภาพทางเศรษฐกิจ ที่หลายคนอาจหลงลืม และซุปอยากขยายความต่อ เพราะนี่คือจุดเริ่มต้นของคำว่า “ระบบที่แฟร์จริง” . เราถูกสอนให้คิดว่า ถ้ามีคนรวยขึ้น ต้องมีใครอีกคนจนลง แต่ในความเป็นจริง ระบบตลาดเสรีไม่ได้ทำงานแบบนั้นเลย เพราะเมื่อมีคนผลิตของที่ดีขึ้น ผลิตได้เร็วขึ้น ต้นทุนจะลดลง สินค้าที่เคยเข้าถึงยาก ก็เริ่มกลายเป็นของธรรมดาที่ใครก็ใช้ได้ . คนหนึ่งคนที่ผลิตเพิ่มขึ้น อาจได้กำไรมากขึ้น แต่คนอีกเป็นล้านกลับได้ใช้สินค้าที่ถูกลง ชีวิตง่ายขึ้น สะดวกขึ้น เห็นได้ชัดว่าทุกฝ่ายได้ประโยชน์ ไม่ใช่เพราะมีใครต้อง "เสียสละจากการบังคับ" แต่เพราะทุกคนแลกเปลี่ยนกัน "ด้วยความสมัครใจ" นี่คือหลักการที่เศรษฐศาสตร์สำนักออสเตรียนเชื่อมั่นมาตลอด ว่าเสรีภาพในการผลิตและแลกเปลี่ยน คือรากฐานของความมั่งคั่งร่วมกัน "การแบ่งงานกันทำ" ของคนที่ถนัดต่างกัน คือวิธีที่มนุษย์สร้างสังคมเจริญขึ้นมาได้จริง ไม่ใช่เพราะรัฐสั่งให้ทำ แต่เพราะทุกคนเห็นประโยชน์ร่วมกันและยินดีแลกเปลี่ยนกันเอง . ปัญหาคือ วันนี้เราไม่ได้อยู่ในตลาดเสรีจริง แต่เราอยู่ในระบบที่รัฐเข้ามาเขียนกติกา ออกใบอนุญาต ควบคุมอุตสาหกรรม กำหนดราคา และที่แย่คือการออกกฎที่เอื้อให้พวกพ้อง ทำให้บางคนได้เปรียบในตลาด โดยไม่ได้มาจากการผลิตเก่งหรือบริการดีแต่มาจากการมีสายสัมพันธ์กับอำนาจ (แบบนี้คือ ทุนนิยมพวกพ้อง) . แล้วคนทั่วไปที่เห็นภาพแบบนี้ ก็พากันเรียกร้องให้รัฐเข้ามาจัดการ ทั้งที่จริงแล้ว...คนที่ควรรับผิดชอบ คือรัฐเอง ที่เปิดช่องให้เรื่องพวกนี้เกิดขึ้นตั้งแต่แรก . เราจึงติดกับดักเดิมซ้ำๆ คือรัฐสร้างปัญหา แล้วใช้ปัญหานั้นเป็นข้ออ้างในการขยายอำนาจ สุดท้ายมันก็ยิ่งบิดเบือนระบบเศรษฐกิจให้ผิดเพี้ยนเข้าไปอีก จนคนทำงานจริง ผลิตของจริง กลับไม่มีที่ยืนในระบบ . . ให้เห็นภาพต่อว่า ถ้ามีคนผลิตมากขึ้น ทุกคนในระบบจะได้ประโยชน์เพิ่มขึ้นเสมอ ตราบใดที่ 1 เขาไม่ได้ขโมยใคร 2 เขาแลกเปลี่ยนบนความสมัครใจ เท่านั้นยังไม่พอ 3 "เงิน" มันต้องเป็นกระจกสะท้อนคุณค่าจากการผลิต ไม่ใช่เงินที่สร้างจากหนี้แล้วใช้กฎหมายยังคับว่ามันมีค่า ถ้าเงื่อนไขสามข้อนี้ยังอยู่ครบ ทุนนิยมตลาดเสรีที่แท้จริง ก็จะเป็นระบบที่ยั่งยืน และแฟร์ที่สุดเท่าที่เคยมีมา ซึ่งตลอดประวัติศาสตร์เรายังไม่เคยแยกอำนาจการเงินออกจากมือมนุษย์ได้เลย เพราะถ้าเราปล่อยให้รัฐพิมพ์เงินได้อย่างอิสระ ลดคุณค่าของเงินได้โดยไม่ต้องรับผิดชอบ และแทรกแซงราคาตลาดโดยไม่มีการผลิตรองรับ เมื่อถึงจุดนั้น ต่อให้เราผลิตเก่งแค่ไหน เราก็ไม่มีทางรวยขึ้น เพราะรางวัลไม่ได้แจกตามผลงาน แต่แจกตามความใกล้ชิตผู้มีอำนาจ เมื่อเงินเสื่อมค่าลงทุกวัน ข้าวของแพงขึ้น เราต้องทำงานหนักขึ้น แต่ซื้อของได้น้อยลง แล้วเราจะเริ่มถามตัวเองว่า “เรากำลังทำงานสร้างคุณค่าจริงๆ ขยันจนแทบไม่มีเวลาหายใจ แต่สุดท้ายเรากำลังก้าวไปเดินหน้า หรือแค่พยายามเอาตัวรอดในระบบที่ไม่ยุติธรรม” และในวันนั้น...คุณอาจจะย้อนนึกถึงประโยคนี้ ที่อาจารย์เคยโพสแล้วอาจไม่ได้คิดว่ามันสำคัญ ปล.วันนี้เราอาจเห็นต่างกันเรื่องบทบาทของรัฐ แต่ซุปคิดว่าจุดร่วมของคำถามนี้คือ ระบบเศรษฐกิจที่ดี ควรให้รางวัลกับผู้ผลิต หรือให้รางวัลกับคนที่อยู่ใกล้ชิดผู้มีอำนาจ... #Siamstr

**DePIN คืออะไร?** เดี๋ยวผมจะมาเล่าเรื่องนี้ให้ฟัง หลังจากที่ไปอ่านมาหลายๆ ที่ เขาบอกว่าอย่างนี้นะครับ (ผิดถูกประการใด หลายๆ ท่านช่วยต่อเติมให้ผมด้วยนะครับ) DePIN ย่อมาจาก Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks หรือ เครือข่ายโครงสร้างพื้นฐานทางกายภาพแบบกระจายศูนย์ 👉 ง่ายๆ คือ แทนที่รัฐบาลหรือบริษัทใหญ่เป็นเจ้าของโครงสร้างพื้นฐาน (เช่น อินเทอร์เน็ต พลังงาน) DePIN ชวนให้ คนธรรมดา มาร่วมสร้างเครือข่ายด้วยกัน โดยใช้เทคโนโลยีบล็อกเชนและเหรียญคริปโตเป็นเครื่องมือจูงใจ ตัวอย่าง: คุณลุงสมนึก อยากได้อินเทอร์เน็ตเร็วๆ แต่บริษัทเอกชนไม่มาลงพื้นที่ห่างไกล เขาจึงซื้ออุปกรณ์ Helium Hotspot ติดตั้งที่บ้าน แชร์สัญญาณให้เพื่อนบ้านใช้ และได้เหรียญคริปโตเป็นรางวัล DePIN ทำงานยังไง? ใช้ บล็อกเชน + โทเค็น เชื่อมโยงคนทั่วโลกให้ร่วมสร้างโครงสร้างพื้นฐานแบบ "แบ่งกันทำ-แบ่งกันได้" ยกตัวอย่าง: อินเทอร์เน็ต: แทนที่ True หรือ AIS จะเป็นเจ้าสัญญาณ Helium Network ให้คุณติดตั้งฮอตสปอตที่บ้าน แชร์สัญญาณและรับเหรียญ $HNT พื้นที่เก็บข้อมูล: Filecoin ชวนคุณเอาพื้นที่ฮาร์ดดิสก์ที่เหลือในคอมฯ มาให้คนอื่นเช่า รับเหรียญ $FIL พลังประมวลผล: Render Network ใช้การ์ดจอ (GPU) ในคอมฯ ของคุณช่วยเรนเดอร์หนัง 3D แล้วได้เหรียญ $RNDR DePIN มันจะเปลี่ยนโลกยังไง? ✅ ลดการผูกขาด ตัวอย่าง: พลังงาน: แทนที่จะซื้อไฟจากปตท. หรือการไฟฟ้า คุณซื้อโซลาร์เซลล์มาติดบ้าน แบ่งขายไฟส่วนเกินให้เพื่อนบ้านผ่านแพลตฟอร์ม DePIN รถยนต์: แทน Uber ที่บริษัทได้ค่าคอม 10-30% DePIN อาจเป็นแพลตฟอร์มที่คนขับรับเงินเต็มจำนวน ✅ ช่วยให้คนธรรมดาสร้างรายได้ นี่แหละ ประเด็นหลัก เช่น คุณนิดา เอาคอมเก่าในห้องเก็บของมาเชื่อมต่อกับ Render Network ช่วยเรนเดอร์งานกราฟิก ได้เงินเดือนละ 500 บาทแบบไม่ต้องทำอะไร เอกชัย ติดตั้งฮอตสปอต Helium หน้าบ้าน รับเหรียญไปขายเป็นเงินเสริม ✅ โครงสร้างพื้นฐานราคาถูกและทั่วถึง หมู่บ้านในชนบท อาจมีอินเทอร์เน็ตเร็ว เพราะคนในชุมชนช่วยกันตั้งฮอตสปอต แทนรอบริษัทใหญ่มาลงทุน คนทั่วไปใช้ DePIN ยังไง? 🔹 เริ่มต้นง่ายๆ ด้วย 3 วิธี: ติดตั้งอุปกรณ์ ซื้อฮอตสปอตราคา 5,000 บาท (เช่น Helium) ตั้งไว้ที่บ้าน เปิดทิ้งไว้ รับเหรียญอัตโนมัติ แบ่งปันทรัพยากร ให้พื้นที่เก็บข้อมูลในคอมฯ (Filecoin) หรือแชร์การ์ดจอ (Render Network) ใช้บริการ DePIN เช่ารถในแอปที่ขับเคลื่อนด้วย DePIN ราคาถูกกว่า Uber โปรเจกต์ DePIN น่าสนใจไหม  สิ่งที่จะต้องพิจารณา กฎหมายไม่ชัดเจน: บางประเทศอาจมองว่าเหรียญคริปโตเป็นเรื่องผิดกฎหมาย ต้องใช้ความรู้เทคนิค: การตั้งค่าอุปกรณ์อาจซับซ้อนสำหรับคนไม่คุ้นเทคโนโลยี เสี่ยงต่อการล้มเหลว: โปรเจกต์บางอันอาจปิดตัวก่อนคุณคืนทุน สรุป: ทำไม DePIN ถึงน่าจับตา? DePIN คือ โอกาสให้คนเล็กๆ ได้มีส่วนร่วมในระบบเศรษฐกิจใหม่ ที่ไม่มีคนกลางกดราคา หรือผูกขาดการตัดสินใจ ถ้ามันสำเร็จ... คุณอาจเป็นเจ้าของเครือข่ายอินเทอร์เน็ตเล็กๆ หมู่บ้านอาจผลิตไฟฟ้าใช้เองได้ ศิลปินอาจเรนเดอร์งาน 3D ถูกกว่าค่าแรงปัจจุบัน 10 เท่า 🚀 อนาคตอาจไม่ต้องรอให้บริษัทใหญ่มาช่วย... แค่เริ่มจากอุปกรณ์ที่บ้านคุณ!

We value sovereignty, privacy and security when accessing online content, using several tools to achieve this, like open protocols, open OSes, open software products, Tor and VPNs. ## The problem Talking about our social presence, we can manually build up our follower list (social graph), pick a Nostr client that is respectful of our preferences on what to show and how, but with the standard following mechanism, our main feed is public, so **everyone can actually snoop what we are interested in**, and what is supposable that we read daily. ## The solution Nostr has a simple solution for this necessity: **encrypted lists**. Lists are what they appear, a collection of people or interests (but they can also group much other stuff, see [NIP-51](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/51.md)). So we can create lists with contacts that we don't have in our main social graph; these lists can be used primarily to create dedicated feeds, but they could have other uses, for example, related to monitoring. The interesting thing about lists is that they can also be encrypted, so unlike the basic following list, which is always public, **we can hide the lists' content from others**. The implications are obvious: we can not only have a more organized way to browse content, but it is also **really private one**. One might wonder what use can really be made of private lists; here are some examples: * Browse “can't miss” content from users I consider a priority; * Supervise competitors or adversarial parts; * Monitor sensible topics (tags); * Following someone without being publicly associated with them, as this may be undesirable; The benefits in terms of privacy as usual are not only related to the casual, or programmatic, observer, but are also evident when we think of **how many bots scan our actions to profile us**. ## The current state Unfortunately, lists are not widely supported by Nostr clients, and encrypted support is a rarity. Often the excuse to not implement them is that they are harder to develop, since they require managing the encryption stuff ([NIP-44](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/44.md)). Nevertheless, developers have an **easier option** to start offering private lists: give the user **the possibility to simply mark them as local-only**, and never push them to the relays. Even if the user misses the sync feature, this is sufficient to create a private environment. To date, as far as I know, the best client with list management is [Gossip](nostr:npub189j8y280mhezlp98ecmdzydn0r8970g4hpqpx3u9tcztynywfczqqr3tg8), which permits to manage **both encrypted and local-only lists**. Beg your Nostr client to implement private lists!

## nostrbook 技术框架 源代码在 github.com ``` git clone https://github.com/nostrbook/nostrbook cd nostrbook npm install npm run dev ``` * 网站主框架 vite + svelte * 网站浏览书框架 docsify ## 网站主框架 svelte 为主，daisyui （tailwindcss） css 。 页面的逻辑结构 都是 svelte搭建的， 采用了 layout 左侧菜单。 菜单代码 在 https://github.com/nostrbook/nostrbook/blob/main/src/lib/SideMenu.svelte 菜单里用了弹框登录，弹框的代码基本是问的 AI。 子页面和 路由器看sveltekit规则编写。 ### 书籍的数据 https://github.com/nostrbook/nostrbook/blob/main/src/lib/bookevent.ts 使用的nostr ndk 库来读写 relay。 书的 tag， 内容就是 标题，封面和作者。 ``` [ ['t',booktag], ['title',content['title']], ]; ``` ### 章节的数据 ``` [ ['t',chaptertag], ['title',title], ['d',filename + "-" + bookid], ['e',bookid], ]; ``` 这里面的 d，采用了 文件名 + bookid，所以每一本的章节名的文件名是唯一的。 ### 配置文件 src/lib/config.ts，主要配置 服务器的地址 * 图片文件 nip96 服务器 * relays 服务器 * book的tag ，测试和 release不一样。 如果自己部署独有的服务器也可以不一样。这样内容可以垂直。 ### 首页采用了缓冲机制 首页的内容来自 书籍的列表， 用booktag和30023来区分是不是书籍信息。 为了搜索引擎友好，让页面加载就有数据。 采用了 src/hooks.server.ts 预备加载数据，数据会被首页面 src/routes/+page.server.ts 传给 page.svelte去渲染。 这一切都是后台完成的。html页面加载的时候数据都已经渲染完成了。所以对搜索引擎非常友好。搞定了google，seo。 但是为了数据的完整性， 页面起来后会继续读取列表，这时候可能会显示最新的数据。

### The Rise of the Entitled Customer A significant contributor to the feeling of being undervalued is the rise of the “entitled” customer. Driven by a combination of factors – readily available online shopping, social media showcasing perfect purchases, and a general sense of consumerism – customers often approach retail interactions with a sense of expectation that goes far beyond simply buying a product. Consider, for example, the increasingly common scenario of a customer returning an item – often without a receipt, without a box, and sometimes only a few days after purchase – demanding a full refund, citing a minor imperfection or simply because they found a “better deal.” A 2023 [study by the National Retail Federation](https://nrf.com/research/2023-consumer-returns-retail-industry) found that 13.7% of all retail sales in the US are Fraudulent or Abusive claims. The expectation of a return is frequently backed by a willingness to complain loudly in person and on social media. This creates a pressure point for employees. Furthermore, the influence of online reviews has amplified this sense of entitlement. A single negative review, based on a minor inconvenience or a slightly longer-than-expected checkout line, can significantly impact a retailer's reputation and, consequently, the employee’s job security. Employees are now judged not just on the quality of their service, but on their ability to handle a constant stream of customer complaints, often delivered with little patience. ### Employers: Demands Without Recognition The pressure isn’t solely coming from the customer side. Employers, driven by profit margins and often influenced by trends in fast-fashion and rapid turnover, have become notoriously demanding. Many retailers operate on tight budgets, leading to lower wages, fewer benefits, and a constant need for employees to “go above and beyond.” The decreasing value of the Dollar has meant that most front line workers are earning only around 70% of their counterparts paychecks from as little as a decade ago. The Dollar figure increases, but the buying power decreases dramatically. The cost of living has increased almost 22%; inflation has also increased by 16%, both in the last 3 years alone. For instance, a recent [report by Forbes](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/personal-finance/minimum-wage-debate/) highlighted that many retail workers earn minimum wage or slightly above, despite often working evenings, weekends, and holidays. This is particularly challenging in areas with a higher cost of living. Moreover, the expectation of multitasking – assisting customers, stocking shelves, operating the cash register, and handling inventory – is frequently placed on a single employee, leading to burnout and decreased morale. The pressure to meet sales targets is another key factor. Employees are often evaluated not just on the number of transactions they process, but on their ability to upsell and cross-sell products. Finally, the rapid pace of change in the retail industry – new technologies, shifting consumer preferences, and frequent store remodels – means that employees are constantly required to learn new skills and adapt to new procedures. This constant learning curve, coupled with the demands of customers and employers, can be exhausting. ### The Result: A Systemically Unfair Equation The combination of entitled customers, demanding employers, and a lack of recognition for the hard work of retail employees creates a systemically unfair equation. Employees are often expected to absorb the brunt of customer dissatisfaction, handle a constant stream of demands, and adapt to ever-changing conditions, all while earning relatively low wages and receiving limited benefits. To shift this dynamic, retailers need to invest in their employees – offering competitive wages, comprehensive benefits, and opportunities for advancement. Customers, too, can play a role by remembering that retail employees are people, not just service providers, and treating them with respect and understanding. It is disappointing that the greed for ever higher profits trumps the need for realistic living wages, and personal well-being of those front line workers affected.

 For years, I’ve been shifting my life away from traditional systems and toward Bitcoin. I calculate my expenses in sats, buy airtime and online data with BTC, and continue exploring new ways to integrate Bitcoin into my daily life. While I’m not yet fully living on Bitcoin, I am getting closer with each step.  Since discovering Nostr, my perspective on decentralization has deepened. More than just a financial shift, it's a complete lifestyle transformation. Years ago, after facing injustice in my home country, I took the first step toward a new way of living. That decision led me to where I am today—a minimalist, a nomad, and a believer in financial freedom through Bitcoin.  I once served in the military, owned a house, and drove a nice car. My life looked very different back then. But over time, I realized that true freedom wasn’t in possessions—it was in mobility, independence, and the ability to control my own finances. Now, all I own fits into a backpack weighing less than 12 kg. My lifestyle is simple, yet rich in experiences. March 14 marks eight years since I embraced my nomadic lifestyle. What started as a leap into the unknown has become my way of life. Living with less has given me more—the freedom to move, to explore, and to be truly independent. The more I immerse myself in the Bitcoin ecosystem, the more I see its potential to reshape not only my life but the world around me.  The journey isn’t over. In fact, it’s just beginning. Let’s see where this path leads as I go further into the blockchain revolution!

I know I'm not alone in this. I don't trust the government. Any government. Its the rational response when you discover just how often its agents lie, steal, and kill. Honestly, I do not understand why so many people do trust the government. The reality is that if your team is in power, you tend to trust it. If not, you still mostly trust it but less so. That's my feel for most people at least. Trump and Rubio are bragging about how many MS-13 gang members are being deported. Many are being shipped to prisons in El Salvador. Obviously I am not opposed to criminals being put in prisons. But, how do we know these guys are actually guilty of anything other than being in the US illegally. Actually we don't even know that. It wouldn't be so bad if these people were just being shipped back to their home countries. But, instead they are getting sent straight to prison. No trial. Just the government picking people up and shipping them to prison. Is this what you signed up for Trump supporters? Many Trump supporters opposed the GW Bush policies of throwing people in off-shore prisons. Some of them US citizens. With no trial. Now these people seem rather silent. Its troubling to me. Why? Well, because the government sucks. Even if they have good intentions they make mistakes. The Innocence Project is just one group that has shown how often our legal system falsely imprisons people. I would be shocked if there weren't any Innocent men being sent to suffer in El Salvador's prisons. You may say, well these are bad dudes and we need to clean up the mess Biden made. I have sympathy for that position. But do we really want to set this president? TDS is real but it is valid to have concerns about the actions of the Trump admin. This is not the American way. Not the way I was taught at least. This is just a strong man taking action and disregarding the values of this nation and the rights of human beings. Think about it. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/931505

Over and over again people fall for phishing scams. An email that looks like it is coming from a legit sender turns out to be a scam. One way you can fight this attack is to only use an email client that displays the full email address. Not just part of it. Not just the from name. Do not assume that because an email has the name "Amazon" the from field that it is from Amazon.com. Look at the address. Now, it is possible for someone to spoof an email address but most of the time the scams I see don't even do this. I suspect this is because of expansion of DMARC policies. Many people simply do not check the actual email address. Other tips, don't click links in emails that you were not expecting to get like emails with log in links. Instead, visit the site and log in direction on the site. If you must click a link in an email look at the actual URL. Don't blindly click the link and for sure do not enter your credentials in a site without checking the domain. This is where password managers can help you out. Most filter passwords by URLs and will not suggest an account cred if you are on the wrong site. I know many of you, maybe most of you know this stuff but I bet there are those that don't. Or, have become lazy. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/931364

Pas si vite ! Depuis quelques années, on entend souvent que PHP est "en perte de vitesse". C’est vrai que des technologies comme Node.js, Python ou Go séduisent de plus en plus de développeurs : - ➡️ performances modernes, - ➡️ syntaxe plus récente, - ➡️ intégration naturelle avec des architectures temps réel ou distribuées. Node.js a conquis le monde startup avec un argument fort : **un seul langage pour tout**. Python et Go, eux, dominent la data, l’IA ou les outils systèmes. Mais faut-il pour autant enterrer PHP ? **Absolument pas.** PHP reste l’un des langages les plus utilisés sur le web. Et surtout : il a su évoluer. Avec PHP 8, le langage a gagné en performance, en typage, en lisibilité. Mais ce qui fait vraiment la différence aujourd’hui… **C’est Laravel.** Laravel, c’est un framework mais aussi une expérience de développement : * ✔️ Artisan CLI * ✔️ ORM Eloquent * ✔️ Middleware, Events, Queues, Notifications * ✔️ Auth intégré * ✔️ Un écosystème ultra complet (Forge, Vapor, Nova, Filament…) Laravel rend PHP moderne, élégant et agréable à utiliser. C’est un vrai plaisir de développer avec. Alors oui, PHP n’est peut-être plus “cool” dans les bootcamps ou les tops GitHub. Mais dans le monde réel – celui des projets qui tournent, des deadlines, des contraintes business – PHP + Laravel reste un choix extrêmement solide. 💡 Je suis développeur Laravel, et j’accompagne des projets web qui ont besoin de robustesse, de scalabilité et de qualité de code. 📩 Si vous avez un projet ou un besoin en développement web, n’hésitez pas à me contacter. Je serais ravi d’échanger avec vous.

Bitcoin tem-se afirmado como um meio de pagamento global, [atraindo cada vez mais comerciantes](https://btcmap.org/map#7/40.24180/-7.05872) e consumidores. Em Portugal, os pequenos e médios empresários têm uma oportunidade única para reduzir custos, expandir mercados e proteger-se da inflação ao aceitar bitcoin como opção pagamento. Apesar das vantagens, muitos comerciantes enfrentam desafios significativos, especialmente no que toca às obrigações fiscais e à falta de conhecimento (ou vontade de aprender) por parte dos contabilistas. Questões como o registo contábil adequado, a tributação do IRC e a facturação com IVA ainda geram incerteza e dificultam a adopção da criptomoeda. Este artigo explora como os comerciantes podem aceitar bitcoin de forma legal e eficiente, analisa os desafios fiscais e contábeis e apresenta soluções práticas para superar os obstáculos impostos pela regulamentação e pela falta de apoio dos profissionais de contabilidade. ## Benefícios de Aceitar Bitcoin ### 1. Redução de Custos Aceitar pagamentos em bitcoin permite evitar taxas bancárias elevadas, especialmente em transacções internacionais. Como as transferências ocorrem directamente entre carteiras digitais, **sem a intermediação de bancos**, os comerciantes podem poupar significativamente em comissões e taxas de processamento. ### 2. Liquidação Rápida Diferente dos pagamentos bancários tradicionais, que podem demorar dias, uma transacção na rede Bitcoin pode ser confirmada em minutos, ou em segundos ou menos usando a Lightning Network. Isto reduz o tempo de espera para a disponibilidade dos fundos e melhora o fluxo de caixa dos comerciantes. ### 3. Expansão de Mercado Os comerciantes podem atrair clientes internacionais e um público mais inovador e tecnológico. A aceitação de bitcoin pode diferenciar um negócio da concorrência e aumentar a base de clientes ao incluir entusiastas de criptomoedas e consumidores que preferem meios de pagamento descentralizados. ### 4. Protecção Contra Inflação Bitcoin pode actuar como reserva de valor, protegendo o património contra desvalorizações monetárias. Em contextos de inflação elevada, manter parte do capital em Bitcoin pode ajudar a preservar o poder de compra a longo prazo. | [](https://youtu.be/B9fCDjybtrU&t=3518) | |:--:| | *Bruno de Gouveia da Care to Beauty - A Seita Bitcoin* | ## Como Funciona na Prática? ### 1. Aceitação Directa vs. Conversão Automática Os comerciantes podem optar por aceitar bitcoin directamente, mantendo-o na sua carteira digital, ou utilizar serviços como OpenNode, Swiss Bitcoin Pay, Coincorner ou Coinbase para converter automaticamente os pagamentos em euros. A escolha depende da estratégia da empresa quanto à exposição à volatilidade da criptomoeda. ### 2. Configuração de Carteira Bitcoin Para receber pagamentos directamente, o comerciante precisa de uma carteira Bitcoin segura, como Electrum, BlueWallet ou Aqua entre outras. Estas carteiras oferecem diferentes níveis de segurança e acessibilidade, permitindo que os comerciantes escolham a solução mais adequada ao seu modelo de negócio. ### 3. Facturação e Registo Contábil Cada pagamento deve ser facturado em euros, com referência à taxa de câmbio do momento. O registo contábil deve ser feito correctamente para garantir a conformidade fiscal, reflectindo o valor recebido em bitcoin e a sua equivalência em euros na altura da transacção. Muitas carteiras e plataformas de pagamento oferecem relatórios detalhados que facilitam o registo contábil e a declaração fiscal. ## Obrigações Fiscais e Contábeis ### 1. IRC (Imposto sobre o Rendimento das Pessoas Colectivas) Os rendimentos obtidos através de bitcoin devem ser devidamente registados na contabilidade da empresa, uma vez que são considerados receitas operacionais. Para efeitos fiscais, a conversão do valor recebido em bitcoin deve ser feita com base na taxa de câmbio vigente no momento da transacção, garantindo um registo transparente e conforme com as normas contábeis. Se a empresa optar por manter os bitcoins sem os converter imediatamente para euros, estes podem ser classificados como activos intangíveis, conforme a Norma Contabilística e de Relato Financeiro (NCRF), artigo 6. No entanto, se forem utilizados como meio de pagamento recorrente, por exemplo pagar a fornecedores que também aceitem bitcoin, podem ser classificados como inventário, dependendo da natureza da actividade empresarial. No momento da venda ou conversão dos bitcoins para euros, qualquer mais-valia obtida é considerada um rendimento da empresa e estará sujeita a tributação em sede de IRC à taxa geral em vigor. ### 2. IVA (Imposto sobre o Valor Acrescentado) As transacções de troca de bitcoin por euros estão isentas de IVA, conforme o artigo 9.º, alínea 27), subalínea d), do Código do IVA (CIVA), que reconhece as criptomoedas como meios de pagamento e as exclui da incidência de IVA. No entanto, a venda de bens ou serviços pagos em bitcoin deve ser facturada normalmente, em euros, com a taxa de IVA correspondente ao produto ou serviço comercializado. Para garantir conformidade fiscal, a factura deve indicar a contrapartida em euros, com base na taxa de câmbio do momento da transacção, independentemente da moeda utilizada no pagamento. **Na prática**, aceitar pagamento em bitcoin funciona de forma muito semelhante a aceitar pagamento em dinheiro físico... 😉 ### 3. Registos e Demonstrações Financeiras As empresas que aceitam bitcoin devem manter registos contabilísticos detalhados sobre todas as transacções realizadas. bitcoin pode ser registado como activo intangível ou inventário, dependendo do seu uso: - **Activo intangível:** Quando a empresa detém bitcoin como reserva de valor ou investimento, registando-o ao custo de aquisição e procedendo a ajustamentos caso haja desvalorização relevante. - **Inventário:** Se a empresa opera no sector de compra e venda de criptomoedas ou usa bitcoin para transacções comerciais frequentes, deve ser registado como inventário, seguindo as regras de mensuração aplicáveis a mercadorias. As demonstrações financeiras devem reflectir correctamente a posse de bitcoin, incluindo informações sobre variações de valor ao longo do tempo. Os contabilistas devem garantir a correta apresentação destes activos nos balanços e relatórios anuais, o que pode exigir reavaliação periódica dos valores contabilizados. ## O Obstáculo: Contabilistas e a Falta de Apoio ### 1. Falta de Conhecimento Muitos TOC não estão familiarizados com a contabilidade de criptomoedas, o que gera incertezas e complicações para os comerciantes. ### 2. Resistência e Falta de Vontade Em vez de se actualizarem, muitos contabilistas recusam-se a aprender sobre Bitcoin, deixando os comerciantes sem apoio adequado. ### 3. Impacto nos Negócios Com a falta de informação e apoio dos TOC, muitos comerciantes evitam aceitar bitcoin, perdendo uma oportunidade de mercado. ## Soluções e Alternativas ### 1. Educação e Autonomia Os comerciantes podem aprender o essencial sobre contabilidade de bitcoin para questionar e orientar os seus contabilistas. Existem recursos online, cursos e materiais educativos que permitem aos empresários compreender as melhores práticas para registo e declaração das transacções em bitcoin. ### 2. Ferramentas e Software Existem algumas plataformas que ajudam na gestão e declaração de criptomoedas, fornecendo relatórios detalhados sobre transacções, ganhos e impostos devidos. Essas ferramentas facilitam a organização financeira e reduzem erros contábeis. ### 3. Rede de Apoio Juntar-se a comunidades de empresários e especialistas em bitcoin pode ajudar a encontrar soluções e recomendações de contabilistas competentes. Fóruns, grupos em redes sociais e associações focadas no tema podem ser excelentes fontes de suporte e partilha de experiências. ### 4. Links uteis - [Website Aceita Bitcoin](https://aceitabitcoin.pt) - [Grupo Telegram Aceita Bitcoin](https://t.me/aceitabitcoin) - [Mario Moura Contabilidade](https://mmc.pt/en/) - [MM Law](https://www.mmlaw.pt/) ## Conclusão Aceitar bitcoin pode ser vantajoso para pequenos e médios comerciantes, mas a burocracia e a falta de conhecimento dos contabilistas dificultam esse processo. É essencial que os comerciantes exijam um melhor serviço dos seus TOC e procurem alternativas para garantir que estão em conformidade com a lei, aproveitando ao mesmo tempo os benefícios desta nova forma de pagamento. --- _**Disclaimer:** Este artigo é meramente informativo e não deve ser considerado como aconselhamento jurídico ou fiscal.

What to record from the last two weeks? The key points from the things I've read and watched? \ The encounters I had with various groups of people, and also one on one? (on my trip to Munich)\ My thoughts on what is going on in the world?\ It is all connected anyway.&#x20; *This is my second post. The* *[first](https://pareto.space/a/naddr1qqxnzden8yunxv3kxvcnjdpsqgsqlvwtq6gjttmchn3nqetzfy42skj9334nhr2ptl2hzqgzeswgssgrqsqqqa28qy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hsz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyctwvsq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwpexjmtpdshxuet5h5apnf)* *was under a different profile, which I lost the private key to.*&#x20; ### So close and yet apart The various encounters: Overlapping 'camps'. School friends, friends from uni times, friends from Covid times. One friend from school, and one friend from uni did not have a Covid vaccine and were critical of measures. To think that this still matters! Can you believe it? But it does! Which is sad on one hand, and makes for strong bonds on the other.&#x20; I'm in a pub with three school friends. They discover that they all voted Green, and are delighted. They kind of congratulate each other, and themselves. I don't even know what to feel in that moment. I'm not shocked. It is not surprising. And yet I still find it astounding.&#x20; As the evening progresses, we move to a Greek restaurant round the corner. On the way there, I walk alongside the friend with whom I exchanged the most challenging emails of the last five years. There had been long pauses between replies. Once I read only the first two lines, and then 'quarantined' the mail. I once deleted one, and three weeks later asked him to send it again.&#x20; In 2023 we sat in a café and openly talked about the Corona period and our differing positions. I appreciated it. At least we could talk. Shortly after, the emphasis in our conversations shifted from Covid to Putin. One arch enemy was replaced by another. And when previously, the 'Covid deniers' were the deplorable ones, now it was the 'Putin understanders', and weren't they the same people anyway? And mentioning peace talks was right wing. It was all so predictable. Was I predictable, too? I'd sent a long email a week ago. But walking alongside each other, we preferred to talk about the kids.&#x20; At the Greek restaurant, the inevitable happened. We ended up in a massive discussion. I once was gesticulating wildly at him. "Conspiracy theorist! That is *so* convenient. Everything that does not fit into your worldview, becomes a conspiracy theory. That there would be a vaccine mandate was once a conspiracy theory. That the virus came from a lab was once a conspiracy theory." On another occasion, he exclaimed: "You know that I know all that about America! You know exactly that I know all those things!"&#x20; We both knew a lot of things, and it went back and forth.&#x20; The irony was that we managed to stay respectful, and it was a discussion with the other school friend there (the fourth person on the table was my husband), that turned out to be the last straw. She had voted Green as well, and had congratulated our school mate on having been to the protest 'against the right'. But she was also the one who didn't have the vaccine, and now said, "With Covid, it was just so obvious that it was all set up." A bit later she said something about the WEF. Only to be greeted with a long tirade. "Aha. So you think this is all a big conspiracy with some powerful people in the background planning everything. And this wasn't a pandemic although lots of people died. I know six doctors, and they all told me the same." A bit later, to me: "So why did only the unvaccinated die then?" And then shortly after, when my friend stated again how the whole thing had seemed premeditated, "Right. That's enough now. I'm leaving." And he got up to pay and left.&#x20; My friend, who stayed behind, thought we had had interesting discussions and she had learned something. On reflection, it was good to have this discussion at all -- at a time that nobody seems to want to talk about Covid anymore.&#x20; But also: Shouldn't we be much much further than this??? ### My first sats A few months ago I had tried to buy bitcoin, just to play around, but there had been difficulties to do with the fact I have a UK bank account. When looking at how to get funds into my getalby account, I ended up with Strike, which is available in the UK. But it seems they take extra care to make sure you know what you are letting yourself into! I had to do a test with about 10 questions to show I understand the risks.&#x20; I then had to wait 24 hours, but now I have sent my first sats.&#x20; On the Strike website, I noticed this [video of a conversation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nzvh4AODtWc) between Jack Mallers, founder of Strike, and Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter. The more I watched, the more I thought, wow, here it is all in one video, all that I would like my friend to see. "America has a problem." The Empire needs to end, and it would be a good thing for America, says Jack Dorsey. This was also the second time in a week that I heard about how Great Britain had created money and bought their own bonds when the public didn't want to, in effect stealing from the people by making their money worth less. It was good to be reminded of [Adam Curtis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Curtis) who has made some mind-blowing documentaries, using lots of BBC archive material. Including about the special US and UK relationship (*An ocean apart*), and also one about Russia from 1985 to 1999 (*Trauma Zone*). The two Jacks talk about the importance of open source, and of being independent of government. The dangers of building abstraction on abstraction on abstraction. About how Mark Zuckerberg served Dorsey raw goat once, because he had this challenge to only eat what he had killed himself. That was also a way to get back to the real.&#x20; Dorsey endorsed RFK jr, this was in summer of 2023, when he was still running for president.&#x20; There is also an interesting bit on the pressures of running a company that has gone public. And the government interference, in effect censorship. The Twitter files. It is not quite clear to me, if it was really so difficult for Jack Dorsey to pay attention and know what was going on, but I can understand that it must have been a difficult situation.&#x20; What I also find very interesting is that in Africa or Latin America bitcoin is sometimes valuable as an exchange medium. That is where I think it could diverge from the pure Ponzi scheme that people often call it.&#x20; And yet, doubts remain. Is bitcoin not too valuable for a lot of people to spend it? But what if you don't have access to any other money. And sending Satoshis around is different from hording bitcoin. Can it fulfil both these functions in the end, storage medium and exchange medium?&#x20; I believe that these two people want to achieve something positive. But they also remain tech bros. And I don't mean that in a bad way. It is just something that will always remain a bit alien to me.&#x20; I did like what Dorsey said about the punks. How they just started to play an instrument, and didn't care if they were not good at it. Then just turned up again and again and eventually got better. I have often thought of myself as a bit punk-like in that respect, although I've often been worried about not being good enough.&#x20; ### Doing away with domination The last [blog article](https://www.lowimpact.org/posts/darren-allen-on-civilisational-collapse/) posted on a website I work on, made me explore the writings by Darren Allen on his [Expressive Egg substack](https://expressiveegg.substack.com/). I had landed there before, years ago, and had been very impressed back then. He seems to criticise people's thoughts a lot though -- almost everybody's -- and I was wondering if that was all he ever did. But then I came across this [article about anarchy](https://expressiveegg.substack.com/p/anarchism-at-the-end-of-the-world). It made me realise again, in all this mess about different worldviews, different expectations and values, that this is a constant for me: How can we have less coercion, how can we live in a way that frees ourselves and others at the same time. I once saw a Twitter bio: "I insist on your freedom." It seems to come from Jack Kerouac.&#x20; Allen writes that there are seven *dominants*, seven elements that "control individuals against their will". They are, " in roughly ascending order of subtlety and pervasiveness": 1\. The \[autocratic] *monarchy*.\ 2\. The \[socialist-democratic] *state* (which includes its money, law, property, police, etc.).\ 3\. The \[totalitarian-capitalist] *corporation*.\ 4\. The \[mass] *majority*.\ 5\. The \[professional-religious] *institution*.\ 6\. The \[technocratic] *system*.\ 7\. The \[mental-emotional] *ego*. I want to keep this list in mind and pay attention when I get sucked into the influence of one of these spheres.&#x20; \ I also like this quote: > The reason men and women do not need kings, princes, states, professionals, institutions and systems to rule over them is because the life within them is more intelligent, more apt, more sensitive, more forgiving and more creative than anything else—certainly any human authority. But this life cannot be rationally fixed. It can be expressed, artistically, indirectly, poetically, musically, or with tone and glance and such ordinary, metaphorical arts of human interaction; but it cannot be literally stated.  \ Although this would be a good ending for this post, I have to mention Jeffrey Sachs as well. I have been following him for a while. He appeared in the EU parliament, invited by Michael von der Schulenburg. Sachs has an amazing amount of experience with both Russian and American government officials, and with currencies. In the 90s he spent some time helping Eastern European countries with the transition to capitalist systems. He realised that the U.S. did not want to help Russia in the same way.&#x20; He gave a long speech in which he laid bare the ways in which the U.S. had influenced so many wars and uprisings around the world, and how the NATO enlargement had been a long-term strategy. That now, with Trump, the war was going to end.&#x20; There would be so much more to say. In any case, this seems to me a historic speech. Can it break through the mirror glass that has kept so many people away from valid sources of knowledge?

Varios sacrificios hacían los mexicanos en este cuarto mes que comenzaba a los cuatro de Abril, y le llamaban *Hueitozontontli*; pero el más memorable era enramar con *Tule* los Templos y las puertas, y ensangrentar a las que a ellas ponían con sangre propia, que de las orejas, y espinillas les sacaban: lo interior de la casa se adornaba con flores, y a sus mentidos dioses coronaban de curiosas, fragrantes, y bien matizadas guirnaldas; particularmente a el de los *Mayes*, a quien consagraban las tiernas, recientes Mazorcas, de sus milpas de maíz, llamado en España *Bocona*.

**"Die Russen kommen..." - oder kommen sie doch nicht ?** &#x20; &#x20;\ Hallo liebe LeserInnen und einen wunderschönen Tag miteinander!\ \ Heute allerdings sterben junge Ukrainer und Russen auch mit unserer Hilfe \ und zugleich Untätigkeit seit mehr als 168 Wochen oder 37 Monaten, mit anderen Worten also: \ seit mehr als drei Jahren, Tag für Tag, Stunde für Stunde, Minute für Minute.\ Auch in diesen Augenblicken, in denen Du dies liest...\ \ Und mit unsrer stillen Zustimmung sorgen Politiker, Medien und Waffenproduzenten \ auch unseres Landes dafür, dass das gegenseitige Abschlachten und Morden weitergeht… **\ Die Russen kommen**…. wird uns seit 2022 im alltäglichen kriegs-propagandistischen Trommelfeuer eingehämmert, vom eher unbedarften regionalen Käseblatt bis zu den vermeintlichen Qualitätsmedien der privaten Konzerne und Staatsmedien des öffentlichen Rundfunks, dessen sich die herrschenden Parteien im Lande immer schon seit 1949 ideologisch bemächtigt haben. 100te, nein täglich tausende Male wird geschrieben, geschrien, gesagt und gedacht, suggeriert, phantasiert \ und illusioniert…oder auch nur geraunt\*\*:\*\* \ \ **die Russen kommen … und kommen und kommen …** Zwar buddeln sich die grün hinter den Ohren frisch aufs Abschlacht-Feld gezwungenen blutig jungen Russen – und natürlich auch ihre sogenannten „Feinde“, die meist auch gegen ihren Willen zum Morden gezwungenen Ukrainer - seit über drei Jahren in den Regionen um Cherson, Donezk und Luhansk im vor allem Stellungskrieg ein, aber was solls:\ \ Morgen oder spätestens übermorgen so behauptet unser Kriegsminister und viele seiner Generäle und Geheimdienstchargen im Chor mit den Gazetten der Leitmedien: spätestens übermorgen also greifen die feststeckenden Russen dann über Nacht mit geballter Macht die jetzt-schon-Kriegspartei USA-NATO, also uns an und sichern sich sicherlich schwupp die wupp die gesamte Ukraine und dann, ja dann, geht’s sofort, also allerspätestens in vier Jahren mit voller Pulle direkt nach Berlin und Brüssel, denn \*\*„dem Russen“, dem trauen wir einfach alles wirklich Böse dieser Welt zu!\ \*\*\ Kriegsursachen, Hintergründe und Zusammenhänge wie die dutzendfach öffentlich dokumentierte und bekannte perfide US-Geostrategie Russland komplett militärisch einzukreisen und genau in die Falle zu locken, in die es reingetappt ist, haben uns noch nie interessiert, weil wir rückgratlos so tief in den Allerwertesten des imperialen Hegemons USA gekrochen sind, dass uns meist schon lange der gesunde Menschenverstand fürs Hören und Sehen, Verstehen wie Begreifen vergangen ist. Die große Mehrheit von uns, also wir, die vermeintlich geläuterten und neuerdings pseudo-auf-geklärten Ex-Anti-Militaristen, Kriegs-Dienst-Verweigerer, paranoid schizoiden Doppel-Moral-Fetischisten der Keine-Waffen-in-KRISEN-Gebiete liefernden Grünen, also die meisten ehemals links-liberalen oder verdeckt unsozial wie unchristlich wie unfrei handelnden Demokraten der Altparteien- Einheitspartei CDU/CSU/FDP/GRÜNE/SPD & Linke (!) sitzen der Wahnvorstellung auf, die Russen würden erst die gesamte Ukraine und danach ganz Europa militärisch besetzen wollen. **\ Du etwa nicht?** \ \ Mal im Ernst: Bist Du kein kindlich Neu-Gläubiger? Glaubst Du etwas nicht an \ „Gut“ und „Böse“ und fest daran, dass „WIR“, also „der Westen“ die Guten sind \ und „Die Russen“ - wie sicher auch „die Chinesen“ - die wirklich über alle Maßen Bösen?

Denkst Du etwa immer noch an die fortschreitende und fast vollständige Umzingelung Russlands durch US-NATO-Stützpunkte, die die gutmütigen und blauäugigen Russen seit 1999 entgegen den westlichen Versprechungen jahrzehntelang geduldig ertragen haben? \ \ Bist du, ja Du, also allen Ernstes immer noch ein „Ewig-Gestriger“?\ Hast Du immer noch nicht begriffen, dass wahr ist, was 1000mal geschrieben und gesagt wurde \ und auf allen Mainstream-Medien-Kanälen seit mehr als drei Jahren auf dich einprasselt?\ \ Hast Du immer noch nicht kapiert, dass heutzutage \ **Wahrheit einfach durch Wiederholung** **\ des Falschen hergestellt** wird ???\ \ Hast Du immer noch nicht begriffen, dass es völlig zwecklos ist, dem militärisch-industriellen, \ man muss ergänzen: zugleich politisch-medialen Komplex, vor dem schon Roosevelt 1961 gewarnt hatte und wegen \ dem auch John F.

**NEW YORK** (April 1,2025) — The Human Rights Foundation (HRF) is pleased to announce 1 billion satoshis of gifts from its [Bitcoin Development Fund](https://hrf.org/devfund). HRF’s latest batch of grants supports open-source development, educational initiatives, mining decentralization, and privacy tools for activists living under authoritarian regimes across Latin America, Africa, and Asia. The gifts also further promote Internet freedom and decentralized communications, ensuring dissidents can connect, communicate, organize, and transact without censorship. Quarter 1 2025 grantees include: - **NetBlocks** Authoritarian regimes weaponize Internet shutdowns to silence dissent, restrict information, and cut off financial lifelines. By blocking communication channels, they isolate individuals, suppress independent media, and disrupt financial flows. [NetBlocks](https://netblocks.org/) exposes these digital crackdowns in real time, ensuring the world sees and responds to digital repression. Through continuous monitoring, it equips activists, journalists, and civil society with the data needed to challenge censorship and advocate for an open internet. With HRF support, NetBlocks will expand its monitoring, documentation, and research — reinforcing internet and financial freedom as a critical human rights safeguard. - **TollGate** Authoritarian regimes exploit Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to monitor and suppress dissent, undermining online privacy essential for human rights defenders. [TollGate](https://opentollgate.github.io/tollgate/), developed by c03rad0r, is software that transforms any WiFi router into a permissionless Internet Service Provider (ISP) using Bitcoin and ecash. By decentralizing Internet access and turning any WiFi router into part of a peer-to-peer, private, open internet network, Tollgate helps resist authoritarian surveillance and protect digital freedoms. With HRF support, TollGate is advancing an open, accessible, and censorship-proof internet for those who need it most. - **Vinteum** Across Latin America, authoritarian regimes restrict financial access to tighten their grip on power. But a growing network of developers is working to change that. [Vinteum](https://vinteum.org/), a nonprofit Bitcoin research and development center led by executive director [Lucas Ferreira](https://x.com/lucasdcf), trains and funds developers to strengthen Bitcoin as a tool for financial freedom. Through education, development, and community building, Vinteum fosters local talent and expands regional Bitcoin accessibility. With HRF support, Vinteum will scale its programs and help more Latin Americans achieve financial independence. - **BTCPay Server** Dictators often block payment processors to cripple the work of nonprofits and dissidents. [BTCPay Server](https://btcpayserver.org/), a self-hosted, open-source Bitcoin payment processor, now breaks this control. It provides individuals, nonprofits, and merchants with a censorship-resistant way to accept payments. Activists and nonprofits can now process global payments, launch crowdfunding campaigns, and build movements on Bitcoin — all without third parties or restrictions. With HRF support, BTCPay Server will expand access to self-custodial payments, enabling more organizations under dictatorships to transact freely. - **Africa Bitcoin Institute (ABI)** Across Africa, dictators manipulate financial institutions to retain control, while more than half the population remains unbanked. Bitcoin offers an alternative, but without proper research, education, and policy frameworks, adoption remains limited. The Africa Bitcoin Institute (ABI), supported by the Rwandan human rights activist [Anaïse Kanimba](https://x.com/AnaiseKanimba), is launching to bridge this gap. Through evidence-based research and policy recommendations, ABI will equip policymakers with the knowledge and tools to integrate Bitcoin into African economies. With HRF support, ABI will promote financial autonomy and solidify Bitcoin’s role as a pillar of economic freedom. - **Bitcoin Core Graphical User Interface** Running a Bitcoin node (software that enables users to verify transitions and enforce the network’s rules) is key to financial sovereignty. But outdated and clunky interfaces make it difficult, especially on mobile devices. [bitcoin-core/gui-qml](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui), a project [Go Qu](https://github.com/goqusan) will contribute to, modernizes Bitcoin Core’s interface to be more accessible and mobile-friendly. By lowering the barriers to node operation, this project empowers more people — especially under autocracies in Africa, where mobile phones dominate — to strengthen their financial sovereignty. With HRF support, bitcoin-core/gui-qml is expanding node access, supporting Bitcoin’s decentralization, and reinforcing its censorship resistance for the long term. - **Rkrux** As an open-source project, Bitcoin Core relies on free and open-source developers to maintain its integrity, security, and resilience against potential threats. [Rkrux](https://github.com/rkrux), a Bitcoin Core developer, plays a crucial role by reviewing code, testing releases, and improving documentation to keep Bitcoin Core robust, secure, and censorship-resistant. Rkurx’s work identifies vulnerabilities, refines changes, and strengthens Bitcoin’s long-term stability. With HRF support, Rkrux is deepening his contributions, reinforcing Bitcoin’s foundation, and ensuring it remains a financial lifeline for human rights defenders worldwide.  - **Elsat** As online censorship intensifies, free speech and financial freedom are under threat. Nostr developer [Elsat](https://github.com/alltheseas) is working to defend these freedoms by contributing to [Damus](https://github.com/damus-io), [Nostrability](https://github.com/nostrability), and [Zap.store](https://github.com/zapstore) — projects that empower individuals to communicate and transact without centralized control. Damus enables private, censorship-resistant messaging; Nostrability improves app interoperability; and Zap.store helps free and open-source software (FOSS) developers distribute and monetize their work peer-to-peer. With HRF support, Elsat is strengthening tools that protect free speech for dissidents under oppressive environments. - **Relay Wizard** Nostr, a decentralized communication protocol, relies on a network of relays (servers that pass messages between users). But setting up relays can be complex and intimidating. [Relay Wizard,](https://github.com/nodetec/relaywizard) a tool created by software developer [J the Code Monkey](https://github.com/jchiarulli), simplifies this process by automating relay setup. This allows anyone to run a relay, reduces reliance on intermediaries, and helps keep nostr resilient against online speech censorship. With HRF support, J the Code Monkey will expand development and operations, ensuring nostr remains a secure, uncensorable communication platform accessible to everyone. - **Waye** Censorship-resistant technology is essential to protecting global freedom. Yet open-source developers often operate like solo entrepreneurs — juggling engineering, project management, and community-building on their own. This leads to inefficiency, isolation, and burnout. [Waye](http://waye.dev) addresses this gap by providing psycho-social support for developers working on freedom tech. Led by Bitcoin Core developer Amiti Uttarwar and operational architect Anna Sides, Waye strengthens the human infrastructure of open source. With HRF support, Waye will support developers from global majority countries, empowering them to build the tools their fellow citizens need.  - **Hashpool** Centralization in Bitcoin mining threatens its censorship resistance and makes it harder for small-scale miners to compete. [Hashpool](https://github.com/vnprc/hashpool), a self-hosted mining pool by developer [vnprc](https://github.com/vnprc), eliminates reliance on centralized entities while giving miners more control over their earnings. Instead of traditional mining pool payouts, Hashpool rewards participants with ecash tokens — digital cash that enables instant, private transactions. This ensures miners receive payouts instantly while preserving their financial privacy. It also helps keep mining open and decentralized. With HRF support, vnprc will further develop Hashpool and help resist mining centralization.  - **Cashu KVAC** As dictators ramp up financial surveillance to threaten dissidents, protecting financial privacy is more critical than ever. [Cashu KVAC](https://github.com/lollerfirst/cashu-kvac) is a software upgrade for Cashu — a Chaumian ecash-based system that enables extremely strong financial privacy. Developed by [lollerfirst](https://github.com/lollerfirst), it improves privacy and efficiency by reducing wallet data storage and concealing transaction amounts from third parties. These improvements strengthen ecash functionality, safeguarding financial privacy for individuals and nonprofits alike. With HRF support, lollerfirst will develop Cashu KVAC and help protect digital and financial freedom for those living under the watchful eyes of dictators. - **Self-Custody Research** In unstable economies and under authoritarian regimes, self-custodial Bitcoin is a financial lifeline — portable money that cannot be seized, censored, or debased. While Bitcoin enables financial freedom, scaling self-custody remains a challenge. Bitcoin educator and developer [Brandon Black](https://github.com/reardencode) (Rearden) is researching these limitations and exploring technical solutions to make self-custody more accessible. His work documents the obstacles users face today and provides insights into how Bitcoin can evolve. With HRF support, Black will expand self-custody education, equipping individuals under dictatorships with the knowledge and tools to secure their financial independence.  - **Stable Channels** For citizens living under authoritarian regimes and struggling economies, Bitcoin is a lifeline — but its volatility can threaten short-term financial security. [Stable Channels](https://github.com/toneloc/stable-channels/), created by software engineer [Tony Klausing](https://tonyklausing.com/), brings stabilized Bitcoin-backed balances to the Lightning Network (allowing users to peg Bitcoin to fiat currencies in a self-custodial way). This innovation enables individuals to transact freely without exposure to wild price swings or to centralized stablecoins. HRF’s support will help expand Stable Channels development, ecash integrations, and community outreach — helping more individuals harness Bitcoin’s power while maintaining financial stability. - **Bitsacco** In Kenya, Savings and Credit Cooperative Organizations (SACCOs) provide savings and lending services to their communities. But reliance on traditional banks limits their autonomy. [Bitsacco](https://github.com/bitsacco/os), created by developer [okjodom](https://github.com/okjodom), reinvents SACCOs by leveraging Bitcoin and Fedimints (a community-based custody model in Bitcoin). In this way, Bitsacco offers a more open, inclusive, and self-sustaining financial option. By reducing dependence on banks, Bitsacco empowers communities to manage their savings and loans independently. With HRF support, Bitsacco will provide a secure, familiar path to sound money in a region where financial instability and restricted access are persistent challenges.   - **The Core** In Africa, where financial literacy gaps persist, hands-on Bitcoin education is crucial for adoption. [The Core](https://github.com/thecore21m-btc), founded by Kenyan Bitcoin educator [Felix Mukungu](https://x.com/MukunguFelix), bridges this gap by equipping Africans with the knowledge and skills to use Bitcoin confidently. Through hands-on training in self-custody, Lightning wallets, and Bitcoin nodes, The Core empowers individuals to take control of their money and transact freely. This grant will help expand The Core’s monthly meetups, online courses, and student-support programs — bringing Bitcoin education to more individuals across Kenya and the wider African continent. - **Bitcoin Babies** Under many authoritarian regimes, infant malnutrition is exacerbated and puts countless children at risk. [Bitcoin Babies](https://bitcoinbabies.com/), founded by [Naomi Wambui](https://x.com/NgachaNaomi1), is a project that tackles this issue by combining infant nutrition education with Bitcoin-based financial literacy. Through weekly Bitcoin stipends, financial literacy training, and community support, mothers under authoritarian rule gain the tools needed to improve their children’s health while achieving long-term financial stability. With this grant, Bitcoin Babies will expand its impact, helping more at-risk communities with resources that are otherwise unavailable and inaccessible, empowering mothers to build brighter futures. - **East Asia Bitcoin Developer Apprenticeship Program** In East Asia, language barriers and limited mentorship have made open-source Bitcoin development inaccessible to many. The [East Asia Bitcoin Developer Apprenticeship Program](https://x.com/kcalvinalvinn), led by Bitcoin developer [Calvin Kim](https://x.com/kcalvinalvinn), is changing that by creating a pathway for Korean and Japanese developers to enter the field. Through hands-on training, mentees gain practical experience, contribute to open-source projects, and eventually become mentors — strengthening the region’s developer ecosystem. With this funding, the apprenticeship program will expand, diversify Bitcoin’s global developer base, make freedom technology more accessible across Asia, and forge links with North Korean defectors. - **Bitcoin Week at TalentLand 2025**   Across Latin America, government overreach threatens financial freedom. At [TalentLand 2025](https://talent-land.mx/), Latin America’s largest tech event, Bitcoin Week will demonstrate how Bitcoin empowers individuals to reclaim their financial sovereignty. Led by developer [Super Testnet](https://github.com/supertestnet) and the Bitcoin and Lightning Guadalajara community, this initiative educates Mexico’s tech community on Bitcoin’s role in fostering financial sovereignty. Through workshops, hackathons, and debates, it nurtures developer talent and engages future tech leaders. With this funding, Bitcoin Week will help expand awareness of Bitcoin’s power to resist financial oppression and accelerate Bitcoin adoption across Latin America. - **Base58** Learning Bitcoin’s technical aspects can feel overwhelming. [Base58’s Bitcoin Live Action Role Play](https://github.com/base58btc/LARP) (LARP) simplifies this with a two-hour workshop where participants act out the Bitcoin network and see how transactions are made, how they get to miners, the work a Bitcoin node does, and how it helps secure the network. Created by [Lisa Neigut](https://x.com/niftynei) (niftynei), a prolific Bitcoin developer, educator, and founder of [Base58](https://base58.school/) and the  [bitcoin++](https://btcplusplus.dev/) conference, alongside David Rodriguez, this immersive experience makes Bitcoin education tangible and entertaining. Now expanding beyond North America, it will train new facilitators, prioritizing regions with limited Bitcoin education due to authoritarian restrictions. With this funding, Base58 Bitcoin LARP will equip more facilitators to teach and learn Bitcoin in an engaging, accessible way. - **BTCenEspañol** Across Latin America, financial repression and limited access to Bitcoin education leave many without the tools to navigate financial repression. [BTCenEspañol](https://www.btcenespanol.com/) has been a leader in Spanish-language Bitcoin education since 2014. With a goal of reaching one million learners and training 100 teachers, BTCenEspañol is expanding to make Bitcoin education more accessible across the region, especially in places like Nicaragua and Venezuela. HRF’s grant will support this growth, equipping individuals with the knowledge to secure their financial independence amid rising authoritarianism in the continent.    - **Increasing nonprofit Adoption of Bitcoin** Under dictatorships, non-governmental organizations face frozen bank accounts, surveillance, and financial censorship — limiting their ability to support vulnerable communities. Bitcoin researcher [Daniel Batten](https://x.com/dsbatten) is quantifying Bitcoin’s role as a financial lifeline to help nonprofits overcome these challenges. Through empirical research, his initiative will show how Bitcoin enables nonprofits under authoritarian regimes to operate more freely. With this grant, the project will equip nonprofits in closed societies with the knowledge and tools to integrate Bitcoin into their operations, strengthening their financial resilience and advancing global movements. - **Bitcoin for Good** When authoritarian regimes weaponize the financial system against dissent, nonprofits and charities are among the first to suffer. Bitcoin for Good is an educational initiative led by activist and Groundswell founder [Hadiya Masieh](https://www.groundswellproject.org/about/who-we-are/). It helps organizations break free by teaching them how to accept and manage censorship-resistant funding. Through hands-on training and direct integration with Bitcoin for donations, nonprofits learn to operate outside the reach of financial gatekeepers and regimes. With this grant, Bitcoin for Good will help nonprofits stay funded, independent, and free to continue their work.

I'm trying out a new month-long focus. For Active April, I'm going to be more proactive about doing stuff around the house that needs doing. It's gonna get all Jordan Peterson cleaning your room up in here. Let's see how noticeable the consequences are. - I predict a happier wife, for one. - I'm also curious to see what kind of fitness impacts there are to increasing this kind of activity, compared to doing more exercise. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/931099

NIP-07 ====== `window.nostr` capability for web browsers ------------------------------------------ `draft` `optional` The `window.nostr` object may be made available by web browsers or extensions and websites or web-apps may make use of it after checking its availability. That object must define the following methods: ``` async window.nostr.getPublicKey(): string // returns a public key as hex async window.nostr.signEvent(event: { created_at: number, kind: number, tags: string[][], content: string }): Event // takes an event object, adds `id`, `pubkey` and `sig` and returns it ``` Aside from these two basic above, the following functions can also be implemented optionally: ``` async window.nostr.nip04.encrypt(pubkey, plaintext): string // returns ciphertext and iv as specified in nip-04 (deprecated) async window.nostr.nip04.decrypt(pubkey, ciphertext): string // takes ciphertext and iv as specified in nip-04 (deprecated) async window.nostr.nip44.encrypt(pubkey, plaintext): string // returns ciphertext as specified in nip-44 async window.nostr.nip44.decrypt(pubkey, ciphertext): string // takes ciphertext as specified in nip-44 ``` ### Recommendation to Extension Authors To make sure that the `window.nostr` is available to nostr clients on page load, the authors who create Chromium and Firefox extensions should load their scripts by specifying `"run_at": "document_end"` in the extension's manifest. ### Implementation See https://github.com/aljazceru/awesome-nostr#nip-07-browser-extensions.
